Product Description

Elevit Vitamins & Minerals for Pregnancy and Lactation.

During pregnancy and lactation the need for vitamins and minerals increases greatly. Elevit is formulated to provide additional vitamins and minerals to meet the increased needs of the mother-to-be and to provide her growing baby with the best possible conditions and nourishment throughout its whole development - from conception, through pregnancy and on to breastfeeding.

Pregnancy supplements similar to Elevit have been shown in clinical trials to reduce the likelihood of certain birth defects, such as spina bifida when taken in the early stage of pregnancy.

Directions

Take one tablet daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Take Elevit if possible for at least one month before pregnancy, throughout pregnancy and the breastfeeding period.
