PROGANY CARE

Progany Care Liquid

Progany Care is the most popular pregnancy supplement brand, and is trusted by mums to safeguard the diet throughout pregnancy. Progany Care Liquid is a scientifically developed formulation of 18 important vitamins and minerals, including 400µg folic acid and 10µg vitamin D, the exact levels as recommended by the Department of Health. Progany Care Liquid has been carefully developed by experts so that all ingredient levels are within safe levels for pregnancy and are moderate rather than excessive.

Expert liquid nutrition for mother and baby

Progany Care Liquid has been developed as an alternative supplement format for those who may have difficulty in swallowing tablets or simply prefer a liquid format. Providing an ideal alternative to tablets, the great tasting orange flavour liquid is gentle on the stomach.

Recommended level of folic acid & vitamin D

The Department of Health recommends all women planning a baby should take a supplement containing 400µg of folic acid, the exact amount contained in Progany Care Liquid. It is recommended that 400µg of folic acid be taken from the start of trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy.

Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status†. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. Folic acid is also beneficial beyond 12 weeks as it contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.

The Department of Health also recommends a daily supplement containing 10 µg of vitamin D should be considered by pregnant women. Progany Care Liquid provides 10 µg per daily dose.

With vitamin B12 and zinc

Many studies show the importance of ensuring the correct intake of various vitamins and minerals throughout the entire pregnancy and while you are a new mum. Progany Care provides a range of nutrients for overall support, all at sensible, carefully balanced comprehensive levels, including vitamins B2, B6 and B12 which contribute to normal red blood cell formation. Also includes zinc which contributes to normal reproductive health.

Progany Care avoids high dose iron which is not recommended

Unlike some prenatal iron supplements, Progany Care has been specifically formulated with an ideal, moderate level of iron. High levels of iron are not recommended unless there is a particular requirement as identified by your healthcare professional.

Specially formulated by experts

Progany Care has been formulated by SHS Nutritions experts during pregnancy to help safeguard a mother's diet. Progany Care provides a comprehensive spectrum of essential nutrients at carefully chosen safe levels, developed on the basis of international research. Progany Care is proud to work in partnership with the Royal College of Midwives to support the health of mothers and babies by raising awareness of the benefits of good nutrition.

Before conception and during pregnancy

Progany Care is recommended before conception to build up the stores of nutrients such as iron in women who are trying for a baby. Good nutrition is important to help prepare a woman's body for the additional demands placed on it during pregnancy. Certain nutrients, like folic acid, vitamin B12 and zinc are also of particular importance from the very first moment of conception. Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction whilst vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation and also has a role in the process of cell division. It also includes iodine which is often recommended during pregnancy.

For all of pregnancy

Good nutritional intake is vital throughout pregnancy, not just the first 12 weeks. Progany Care Liquid provides essential nutrients throughout pregnancy including folic acid which has an important role during the full nine months and contributes to normal blood formation. You can start taking Progany Care at any point during pregnancy.

†The beneficial effect is obtained with a supplemental folic acid daily intake of 400µg for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
