Elevit Breastfeeding Multivitamin has been specially tailored to help meet the increased nutritional requirements of breastfeeding women.
KEY BENEFITS
Breastfeeding makes a lot of demands on a woman’s body, including the need for extra nutrients. A supplement can help ensure you’re meeting these increased requirements.
Even with a healthy diet – something that can be hard to maintain, especially in those first exciting few weeks of motherhood – it can be tricky to get all the vitamins and minerals you need to support your own health, and the health of your baby.
Elevit Breastfeeding has been formulated to help achieve increased nutrient levels to support your baby’s healthy development, as well as supporting your own health and energy levels.
Elevit Breastfeeding contains essential vitamins, minerals and omega 3. These nutrients are crucial for the development of your baby’s brain and eyesight, as well as supporting your energy and immunity.
Some key ingredients include:
- Betacarotene: Supports healthy development of your baby’s overall vision and eye health

INGREDIENT
Breastfeeding is a demanding time for mums, with increased daily recommended amounts of certain vitamins and minerals to help support the health and development of your growing baby.
B Group Vitamins
Elevit Breastfeeding contains B Group Vitamins
There are eight B group (or B-complex) vitamins that the body needs to help it use the fuel we get from foods, such as carbohydrates, protein and fat. Without these vitamins the body can lack energy.
Vitamin C
Elevit Breastfeeding contains 60 mg
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, plays a key role in the body’s immune system (including tissue and wound repair), iron absorption, and helps maintain healthy skin, bone and cartilage.
Folic Acid
Elevit Breastfeeding contains 500 mcg
Folic acid (the supplemental form of folate) is a B group vitamin which aids development and growth. It’s passed through breast milk so important you get an adequate supply.
Iron
Elevit Breastfeeding contains 9 mg
Iron is a mineral that supports our immune system, energy levels and helps transport oxygen in the blood. A lack of iron can lead to symptoms of fatigue, tiredness and a less robust immune system.
Iodine
Elevit Breastfeeding contains 225 mcg
Iodine is a mineral required for thyroid hormone, which is essential for healthy growth and development. Iodine is essential for cognitive development in children. Breastfed babies are dependent on maternal iodine levels, therefore adequate iodine intake is an essential part of a breastfeeding diet.
Selenium
Elevit Breastfeeding contains 55 mcg
Selenium is an essential mineral with antioxidant properties – it plays a vital role supporting immune system function. Selenium is also necessary for the production of thyroid hormones, which are crucial for the development of your baby’s brain and nervous system.
Vitamin D
Elevit Breastfeeding contains 600IU
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that helps your body absorb the calcium it needs to support muscle strength and bone health. It also promotes immune function and cell growth and development.
