Elevit or Blackmores Conceive Well Gold?

[Liz]

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.

When I compared the contents of the Elevit and Blackmores, Elevit had a larger dose of most of the vitamins and minerals. The only thing I remember Blackmores having that Elevit didn't was iodine. But this was almost 3 years ago now so there's always a chance it could have changed since then. It's easy enough to compare their contents if you've got the two packets side by side in the pharmacy.

For what it's worth, my fertility clinic recommends and sells Elevit (and Menevit).
