When couples decide to try for a family, both women & men need to look after their diet & lifestyle in order to maximise their health & 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 & ovum are formed well in advance of fertilization & need to be provided with the best nutrition possible for when they combine. For example sperm take 75 days to form & up to 21 days to mature, which means a man’s current lifestyle & health will affect the sperm he produces 3 months from now. The effect of nutrition on conception rates has been rigorously studied & shows that certain nutrients help support healthy ovulation, fertilization & embryo implantation. Men & 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 & 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 & vitality in men of all ages.
