How is Elevit different to other pregnancy multivitamins?
Many of the pregnancy supplements available in Australia are basic multivitamins that have been slightly adjusted for pregnancy. In contrast Elevit is based on a formulation that has been scientifically proven to reduce neural tube defects in a large, statistically significant clinical trial - the Czeizel study. Elevit has relatively higher levels of certain key vitamins and minerals, which is why it's only available from pharmacies.

Elevit contains 800mcg of folic acid - why is this higher than others?
800mcg was the amount of folic acid used in the Czeizel study, which in combination with the other vitamins and minerals in the formulation showed such a significant reduction in neural tube defects, including spina bifida.¹
