Shine and Vitabiotics Pregnacare

Shine and Vitabiotics Pregnacare work in partnership to raise awareness of the need for folic acid and vitamin B12 supplementation prior to conception. Public awareness around folic acid as a supplement FOR pregnancy is relatively good but the importance of its use BEFORE pregnancy less widely known.

Our Folic for Life campaign aims to change this. The campaign is about helping people to make informed choices and promoting pregnancy preparation with a view to increasing healthy pregnancies and positive outcomes for babies. Vitabiotics supports our aims by providing Shine with the funding and public reach to share these important health messages. Visit www.folicforlife.com to for more information about folic acid and pregnancy. 

The first week of August was World Breastfeeding Week, for this we wrote a guest post for the Pregnacare Talk Mum blog. The post covers how breastfeeding can potentially be a form of natural contraception, the importance of taking folic acid while breastfeeding, and the benefits for mums and babies.
