Folic Acid 400 µg is a great support on your journey, whether you are planning to become pregnant or are already expecting your little one.

Why Folic acid is important

Did you know that folate plays a role in the body’s cell division process? Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, an important B‑vitamin that the body needs in order to produce new cells and renew tissue.
A folic acid supplement can be a way to ensure normal folate levels in the body. For many women, folic acid serves as valuable support already during the planning stage, as early nutritional balance can have great significance for the health of both the mother and the developing baby.

Benefits of Folic acid during pregnancy

An increased intake of folic acid helps improve the mother’s folate status. Low folate levels in the mother are a known risk factor for the development of neural tube defects in the fetus, which makes folic acid one of the most important supplements before and in the early stages of pregnancy.
The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 400 µg of folic acid from at least one month before conception and up to three months afterwards. Regular intake helps the body build stable folate levels at the time when the baby’s organs are developing most intensively.

Product Information – Folic acid 400 µg

Folic Acid 400 µg is a dietary supplement specially designed for women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and those planning pregnancy. Each tablet contains a carefully measured dose of folic acid that makes it easy to cover the daily requirement.
The recommended daily dose is 1 tablet, which provides 400 µg of folic acid. This corresponds to 200% of the daily reference intake.
