Elevit or Blackmores Conceive Well Gold?

[buliej]

It's my understanding that Elevit has the ideal amount of folic acid while Blackmore's is lower (but still really fine). However, Blackmore's has iodine and Elevit does not and iodine is important.

if you take elevit you need to take an omega 3 as well, but the blackmores has that already in it. you need that to absorb one of the ingredients properly.
i took blackmores for a couple of months and i didn't have a problem with it. no nausea or any side effects.

I found elevit & blackmores both didn't agree with me. I now take FeFol Pregnancy supplement + spatone iron supplement.

For DS#1 and DS#2 i took Fefol - recommended by my OB
For DS#3 (different OB) i took Elevit.

Now i am taking Elevit again - havent had any probs with it.

Can anyone confirm whether there are indeed beef or pork by-products in Elevit? I have been taking elevit and when I searched the product online some reviewers said there were animal by-products in it.

I take Elevit for the simple reason that it's only 1 tablet LOL. No fancy reasons here.

It's only folate that is the important thing to take pre-conception, so you could even just take a plain folate supplement. The rest is just a multi that can help with general wellbeing. A normal healthy diet is usually sufficient for getting all the other bits & pieces.

I don't know anything about animal by-products in it, sorry Robin.

Thanks, yes, the appeal of just a single pill is why I have been taking it, but I'm vegetarian. I am going to ring Bayer and find out.
