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. The
effect of nutrition on
conception rates has been
rigorously studied and
shows that certain
nutrients help support
healthy ovulation,
fertilization and embryo
implantation.Men and
women should use
Pregnacare His & Her
Conception as soon as
they start trying for a
baby. To help build the
body’s nutritional
stores it can even 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 or Pregnacare
Plus with Omega-3, which
are specially formulated
for the remainder of your
pregnancy and during
breast-feeding. Following
conception, men can move
onto Wellman® original
tablets which provide a
comprehensive formulation
of over 28 essential
bio-elements to help
maintain general health
and vitality in men of
all ages.For men: It is
now known that folic acid
is not only essential for
women who are planning a
baby, but men too. As
well as folic acid,
Wellman® Conception
provides a potent blend
of antioxidants,
vitamins, and minerals
which have been
specifically chosen for
their role in male
reproductive function and
health. For women:
Pregnacare Conception
contains a carefully
balanced comprehensive
formulation of
micronutrients to help
build nutritional stores
ready for pregnancy and
support good reproductive
health.

Pregnacare Cream is a
gentle massage cream,
specially formulated to
care for stretching skin
during
pregnancy. Stretch marks
can appear anywhere on
the body where the skin
has been stretched. They
occur when the lower
layer of the skin
containing collagen and
elastin, which give our
skin its elasticity,
becomes damaged by a
rapid weight loss or
weight gain, such as in
pregnancy. The purple
appearance of the stretch
mark on the skin is
caused by the small blood
vessels beneath the
surface, which become
more visible with
stretching.Pregnacare
Cream's unique formula
contains vitamins C and E
and botanical extracts
such as natural extract
of Calendula and Evening
Primrose Oil, which
together gently protect,
nourish, moisturise and
heal stretching
skin.Pregnacare Cream is
safe and effective during
the months of pregnancy
and may be continued to
be applied after giving
birth, to help the
contracting skin to stay
supple.

of the foetus. Each

The changes which occur
as we age, as well as an
inadequate diet, stress,
hair styling and
lifestyle, can all
impact hair condition,
strength and
growth.Shedding of excess
hair in women is
different to that in men
and can begin around the
age of 30 and in some
cases even as early as
the 20s. It usually
becomes noticeable around
the age of 40, and may
be even more noticeable
after menopause. By the
age of fifty, 50% of
women will probably
experience some degree of
excess hair loss.Healthy
hair growth is related to
many factors
including: • Age and
genetic factors •
Hormonal influences •
Pregnancy and
menopause •
Chemicals/colourants and
physical damage •
Trauma/stress • Rapid
weight loss •
Inadequate
nutritionHaving a healthy
head of hair and a
healthy scalp begins with
the proper nutritional
building blocks. The hair
follicle is a highly
active factory and
metabolic requirements
for oxygen, energy and
protein synthesis must be
met to maintain healthy
hair. A reduction of
nutrients in the diet or
a reduction of blood
supply to the scalp can
threaten the delivery of
adequate oxygen, glucose
and essential nutrients
which can have a negative
impact on the body’s
ability to assimilate
nutrients required to
maintain normal follicle
metabolism and hair
growth. Supplementation
can therefore play an
important role in
safeguarding an
individual’s
nutritional
intake.Wellwoman
Tricologic has been
scientifically formulated
to provide a complete
spectrum of 26 nutrients,
including biomarine
collagen, amino acids
and special plant derived
nutrients, which play a
role in scalp health and
hair follicle metabolism.
