Folic Acid 400µg (Vitamin B9), High Strength Formula

Also known as vitamin B9, folic acid is well-known for its critical role in the health and development of an unborn baby. The Department of Health now recommends that all women planning a pregnancy – and those during the first 3 months of pregnancy – take 400µg of folic acid daily. Currently, 47% of women fail to consume enough folic acid through diet alone, which is why supplementation is essential.

Aside from supporting foetal health, vitamin B9 plays an important part in the body's regulation of homocysteine, the amino acid-like compound implicated in heart health. High levels of homocysteine are associated with heart problems.

Our high-performance vitamin B9 supplement provides 400µg of folic acid, which is up to three times the amount supplied by many people's diets, and the level increasingly recommended by health practitioners.

We’ve chosen to formulate our Folic Acid 400µg in small, easy to swallow tablets – not capsules – since they can deliver highly concentrated vitamin levels in a convenient, one-a-day dose.

Our formula is made in UK factories working to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to ensure our strict quality standards are met.

This product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

What does vitamin B9 contribute to?

Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folic acid status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus.
