Metagenics Pregnancy Care Advanced

Metagenics Pregnancy Care Advanced is a comprehensive vegan prenatal formula with activated B vitamins, bioavailable iron and zinc, iodine, choline and lutein — delivering specialised nutrition for mother and baby across preconception, pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Key Ingredients

• 5-MTHF & Methylcobalamin (active folate & B12): The activated, directly usable forms of two nutrients critical for foetal neural tube development, DNA synthesis and healthy cell division — essential for women with MTHFR variants who cannot efficiently convert standard folic acid
• Iron bisglycinate (Meta Fe): A highly bioavailable, gentle form of iron that minimises the constipation and nausea associated with standard iron supplements — supporting healthy maternal iron levels, energy and oxygen transport throughout pregnancy
• Iodine: Critical for maternal thyroid function and foetal brain and central nervous system development — iodine deficiency is common in pregnancy and linked to impaired cognitive development in the infant
• Choline & Lutein: Two nutrients increasingly recognised for their role in foetal brain, vision and nervous system development — choline intake is commonly insufficient in pregnant women, while lutein is the predominant carotenoid in the infant brain
• Zinc bisglycinate (Meta Zn) & Vitamin D3: Bioavailable zinc supporting immune function, foetal growth and healthy cell development, paired with vitamin D3 for bone, brain and nervous system health across all stages of pregnancy and lactation
