Complete Support & Blackmores: An Ingredient Comparison
This page compares product compositions using information from each product’s ARTG public summary, current as of December 2025. It does not imply that any product is superior or inferior to another, and it is not health advice. A supplement is intended to complement a balanced diet, not replace it. For advice on what suits your circumstances, speak with your healthcare practitioner. Third party product details may change; always check the current product label. Full ARTG entries are available at tga.gov.au. Blackmores is a trademark of its respective owner and is referenced here for comparison only.
Prenatal supplements list their ingredients in different ways. Amounts appear in different units, some nutrients are shown as the compound and others as the elemental amount, and daily doses vary from one to several tablets. This makes it hard to compare two products directly. This page puts Complete Support and Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Gold in one table, using the figures from each product’s ARTG entry, converted to the same basis: elemental amounts, per daily dose. You can read the numbers side by side and see how the two formulas differ.
The amounts below are taken from each product’s ARTG public summary and shown as elemental quantities per daily dose. You can view the source entry for each product here:
How to read the amounts: all figures are shown per daily dose and as elemental amounts, the actual amount of each nutrient your body receives, rather than the weight of the compound it comes from.
