Product Description
Pregnacare Him & Her Conception
Expert nutrition for when trying for a baby
Pregnacare Him & Her Conception now provides the opportunity for couples to take a convenient, balanced daily formula specifically developed with nutrients for male and female reproductive health as well as overall wellbeing. The extra value dual pack contains both Pregnacare Conception and Wellman Conception nutritional tablets, which have been specifically designed to support both men and women who are trying for a baby.
When couples decide to try for a family, both women and men need to look after their diet and lifestyle in order to maximise their health and support conception. It is important for couples to be in the best possible health nutritionally, ideally at least 6 months before a baby is conceived. The sperm and ovum are formed well in advance of fertilization and need to be provided with the best nutrition possible for when they combine. For example sperm take 75 days to form and up to 21 days to mature, which means a man's current lifestyle and health will affect the sperm he produces 3 months from now.
As part of helping to ensure a healthy conception, couples are now routinely counselled to look at their lifestyle and diet as practical measures which can help to improve their fertility and their chances of success, including nutritional supplementation. It is now widely accepted that nutritional deficiencies can have a direct impact on male as well as female fertility. For couples who are serious about conception and the very best start for their developing baby, it is recommended that both partners address their diet and nutrition.
Pregnacare Conception Tablets for women
Introducing Pregnacare Conception
The makers of Pregnacare, the UK's leading pregnancy supplement brand, have developed Pregnacare Conception specially formulated to help support a healthy conception for women who are trying for a baby. Based on latest scientific research using Pregnacare, the new improved Conception formula includes 20µg Vitamin D†
Pregnacare Conception provides a carefully balanced comprehensive formulation of micronutrients including the specific nutrients Inositol, Coenzyme Q10 , N-acetyl Cysteine and Selenium. The formula also includes vitamin B12 and folic acid at 400µg, the exact level recommended by the Department of Health.
Ideal for all women to help build nutritional stores before conception.
Nutrient formula free from drugs & hormones.
The formula includes key nutritional elements:
Recommended Folic Acid level
Pregnacare Conception provides 400µg folic acid, the exact level recommended by the UK Department of Health for all women who are trying to conceive. 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 also has a role in the process of cell division and also contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
Female reproductive health
Certain nutrients can play a role in helping support reproductive health in women. Pregnacare Conception includes zinc which contributes to normal fertility and reproduction whilst vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. The formula also includes vitamin B12, iron, magnesium and 20µg vitamin D which have a role in the process of cell division.
All-round nutritional support
Pregnacare Conception provides all round nutritional support including biotin & copper which contribute to normal energy release and iron which contributes to the normal function of the immune system & formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. Vitamins B6 & B12 are contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system. The formula also includes other key nutrients; Coenzyme Q10, Inositol, N-Acetyl Cysteine and Betacarotene.
This product is designed for women of child-bearing age.
*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.
The Monthly Cycle & Conception
Did you know that some women can experience irregular cycles when coming off the contraceptive pill, which can last up to six months? The menstrual cycle can also be disturbed by weight loss, weight gain, excessive amount of exercise, physical or emotional upset. More Information
A change in the monthly cycle has been noticed by some women at the same time as using this product. If you experience a delay or change in your monthly cycle, this may not necessarily mean you are pregnant and it is advised to take a pregnancy test and speak to your doctor or health professional.
Pregnacare Conception is a nutrient based, scientifically researched formula without any drugs or hormones. It contains no ingredients known to cause irregularity in the monthly cycle.
Wellman Conception tablets for men
Supporting reproductive health
When couples decide to try for a family, it is not only women who should look after their diet and lifestyle in order to maintain their health and support conception.
Introducing Wellman Conception
Wellman Conception recognises that men have distinct reproductive health needs of their own. Many men now recognise the importance of and adopting a healthier lifestyle when trying for a baby.
Wellman Conception has been developed to provide a comprehensive combination of vitamins and minerals and bio-active nutrients to help support all round health and vitality including iron which contributes to normal energy release, as well as specific nutrients which have been chosen for their role in fertility and reproduction.
Nutritional Support for Fertility
Wellman Conception is a comprehensive formulation with specific nutrients, including zinc which contributes to normal fertility and reproduction. Zinc and vitamin C both contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and also help contribute to the normal function of the immune system.
Zinc is arguably one of the most important minerals for the male reproductive system as semen contains 100 times more zinc than is found in the blood. In fact each ejaculation contains around 0.5mg of zinc. Wellman Conception has been formulated to include 15mg of zinc.
Conception & Spermatogenesis
Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, zinc contributes to normal testosterone levels in the blood and selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis. It is now known that folic acid not only plays a critical role in female conception, for the early development of the foetus, but is also important for the male's role in conception too. Folic acid, iron, magnesium and vitamin B12 have a role in the process of cell division, plus vitamin A, which has a role in the process of cell specialisation.
For all round health and vitality
Vitamins B6 & B12 along with copper, iron and zinc contribute to normal energy release. Folic acid, vitamin B6, riboflavin (vit. B2) contribute to normal red blood cell formation as well as iron, contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin which carries oxygen and blood to the reproductive organs. Vitamins B6 & B12 contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system. The formula also includes other key nutrients; Peruvian MACA Extract, Co-Q10, Lycopene, Siberian Ginseng Extract and Pine Bark Extract.
When to use Pregnacare Him & Her Conception
Men and women should use Pregnacare Him & Her Conception as soon as they start trying for a baby. To help build the body's nutritional stores it can be taken for 3-6 months before you start to try for a baby. Once you have confirmed you are pregnant, women can continue to use up any remaining Pregnacare Conception tablets, before moving on to Pregnacare tablets or liquid, Pregnacare Plus with Omega-3 or Pregnacare Max with Omega-3 plus Calcium which are specially formulated for the remainder of your pregnancy.
