Blackmores Conceive Well Gold Capsules + Tablets 28/28

Overview

Blackmores Conceive Well™ Gold provides essential nutrients, including folic acid, iodine, iron, Omega-3 and CoQ10 needed for healthy conception.

Why use

• Supplies nutrients that support normal ovulation and are associated with healthy conception

• Provides nutrients involved in very early stage of foetal development

The Blackmores difference

Blackmores Conceive Well™ Gold prepares the body for conception. Some of the key nutrients include:

• Antioxidants - are important for women attempting conception. Chances of conception increase in women with higher levels of antioxidants in the fluid surrounding their reproductive organs

• CoQ10 - Levels of CoQ10 decrease with age. Adequate levels of CoQ10 in the expectant mother are associated with healthy early stages of pregnancy

• Iodine - important for baby's normal brain development, eyesight and hearing. Optimising iodine levels before pregnancy can take up to 5 months

• Fish oil - is a source of omega-3 long chain fatty acids. DHA is particularly important for the normal function of the brain, and for development of normal eyesight.

• Folic acid - Contains a daily dose of 500 µg of folic acid which plays a role in the synthesis of genetic material (DNA and RNA), and is required for cellular division. Foetal cells undergo constant cell division, so women require increased levels of folate during pregnancy, and especially in the early days after conception, which are critical for the healthy development of baby’s nervous system

• Vitamin C - is needed for hormone production and may help to stimulate normal ovulation. The developing egg needs adequate vitamin C to mature. The ovary contains one of the largest ascorbic acid stores in the body

• Vitamin D3 - supports calcium absorption and is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones. Low vitamin D levels are common in women during pregnancy

• Iron - a component of haemoglobin, an essential component of red blood cells. Haemoglobin transports oxygen in the body. Having optimal haemoglobin levels helps the cells of the body receive sufficient oxygen. Early foetal brain development requires adequate iron. As many as one quarter of Australian women have below recommended intakes of iron prior to conception

• Zinc - essential to good health as it is involved in many enzyme reactions in every cell of the body. Adequate levels of zinc support normal conception and are essential for a healthy baby's normal growth and development

• B group vitamins - play an essential role in the production of energy and support normal conception

Once you fall pregnant we recommend you switch to Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Gold, a premium pregnancy formulation containing vitamins, nutrients and essential fatty acids beneficial for both mother and baby.
