Healthy Start vitamins

For those interested in nutrition in pregnancy and breastfeeding, the Healthy Start Vitamins for women have just been produced for the first time and are now available through both NHS premises and in retail pharmacies. They contain 10mcg vitamin D3 along with 70mg vitamin C and 400mcg folic acid. However, they are a low-cost product for anyone wishing to top up their vitamin D levels.

The formulation is that recommended in the Scientific Review of the Welfare Food Scheme.

Healthy Start Children's vitamin drops have also been available since January 2007. A daily dose of these contains 7.5mcg vitamin D3 along with vitamins A and C.
