Hi Deidre, Elevit(spelt without the 'e') is asupplement of 'vitamins minerals for pregnancy lactation' (so printed on the package). Produced by Roche.The starter packconsists of5 tablets, one for each day.I believe the drug companies distribute free samples to GPs and Obstetricians as a mean of marketing. Each tablet contains: 11 Vitamins Thiamine nitrate (Vitamin B1) 1.55 mg Riboflavine (Vitamin B2) 1.8 mg Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) 19 mg Calcium pantothenate (Vitamin B5) 10 mg Pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6)2.6 mg Cynocobalamin (Vitamin B12) 4.0 microgram Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) 100 mg Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) 12.5 microgram dl-a-Tocopherol acetate (Vitamin E)15 mg Biofin (Vitamin H) 200 microgram Folic acid 800 mircogram 7 Minerals and trace elements Calcium 125 mg Iron 60 mg Magnesium 100 mg Phosphorus 125 mg Copper 1 mg Manganese 1 mg Zinc 7.5 mg Some of our mothers take it because it has all the vitamins, especially vitamin C, whichhelps iron absorption. Usually recommended by GPs. I believe it is a little bit more expensive than the ordinary iron supplements. The tablet itself is actually huge. May be off puttingfor mothers who have difficulty with taking tablets You can contact Roche Consumer Health on its free call 1800 023 884 for further details. I only know all these because I picked upa sample when I was in NACE conference in Sydney. : --)) Hope the above info helps.

Elevit samples ( and post-it note pads with elevit adverts ) are one of many products and pamphlets in the Bounty bags given to women at their first visit to our public teaching hospital.
