Customer questions / expert answers

Q. Hi Just wondering what the best multi is to take when pregnant? Ive just purchased Eagle Natal Multi today, which I will start taking when I fall pregnant, we are looking to start trying again. Is this better than elevit?

Yes the Eagle Natal is preferable to the Elevit. Take that for now. I would also suggest considering a new formula by My Gen Maternity Formula. It is the newest on the market and has higher levels of folate and Zinc and an easily digested form of iron (iron II glycinate). The formula contains a morning (Multi formula) with an evening tablet (D3, Calcium and Magnesium). By including two separate tablets they are able to give more effective therapeutic doses required in pregnancy.
