What makes TriCare Prenatal Multivitamins Different?

Prescription Grade & Prescription Required

TriCare Prenatal Multivitamin/Mineral tablets are prescription grade, which means it's specifically formulated with higher concentrations of key nutrients than in over-the-counter versions. For example, it contains higher doses of folic acid, which is especially important if you have certain health conditions or need extra nutritional support.

Less Calcium Than Other Prenatal Vitamins

This is intentional. Too much calcium can interfere with you body's absorption of other nutrients like iron, which is vital during pregnancy to prevent anemia and support your increased blood volume. Instead, your healthcare provider will suggest you get most of your calcium from your diet.

Film-Coated Tablets

There's two key benefits here. First, film-coated tablets are usually gentler on your stomach, easier to swallow, and reduces any unpleasant aftertaste. Second, the film coating serves to protect vitamins and minerals from breaking down due to light or moisture exposure, so your body can absorb the nutrients efficiently.

Research also suggests that Folic Acid may help lower your baby’s risk of other birth defects such as cleft lip, cleft palate and certain types of heart defects. As well, Folic Acid may also reduce the risk of preeclampsia, a serious blood pressure disorder that affects many women during pregnancy.
