Blackmores Vs Elevit

Hi everyone. I am pregnant and taking Blackmores Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Formula. A friend has told me that she used to take this one and didnt feel well but then she swapped to the Elevit and felt fine.

I took this one with my daughter as well and I was sick, and I am sick this time around but not so bad.

Has anyone else heard or experienced this?

This is possible as the ingredients in each supplement are different, for example, Blackmores Pregnancy & Breastfeeding Formula contains Fish Oil. If something is making you sick, then it is advised that you switch.

Hey there, I used to take the blackmores( and I usually liked their products) but I must say during pregnancy I preferred Elivit

Re: Blackmores Vs Elevit

Was that because they made you feel ill or just a strange pregnant-woman preference?

Re: Blackmores Vs Elevit

For my first pregnancy I took Elevit as the GP recommended it, but for the second took Blackmores. The chemist recommended Blackmores due to the Omega 3s & 6s lacking in other tablets. Neither seemed to make much difference to nausea and I had to take an iron treatment (natural liquid) with both. Don't know if that helps any....

Re: Blackmores Vs Elevit

if I remember correctly, Elevit has much higher dose of iron, which can help you if you are iron deficient. I had the pharmacist decifer the difference for me and ended up with Elevit, although Blackmores may be more naturally derived.

Not sure that this helps.

Same here - I was taking Elevit and felt generally unwell with vomitting in the mornings. However, on the days I forgot to take it I felt fine. I have stopped taking it in the last few days and am just taking a generic Folic Acid supplement now and feel much better. (I am 22 weeks).
