Product Information

Folic Acid is well known for the important role it plays in the health and development of an unborn baby. The Department of Health now recommends that all women planning a pregnancy as well as those during the first 3 months of pregnancy take a supplement of 400µg of Folic Acid daily. This is good advice as official data shows that 47% of women have dietary intakes below the NRV level (Nutrient Reference Value) of 200µg per day.

More recently folic acid has been in the news as it contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism which is a compound implicated in the build up of plaques within blood vessel walls. Folic acid is therefore an important nutrient in all adults’ diets, not just in pregnancy, which is one good reason to eat plenty of green leafy vegetables, a rich source of this important nutrient. All our multis contain folic acid, and the ones listed below have 400µg, (Multimax^® Advance has 200µg).

Daily Intake

Take 1 tablet daily with a meal. Do not exceed recommended daily dose.
Food supplements should not replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
The Department of Health recommends that all women planning a pregnancy as well as those women during the first 3 months of pregnancy, take 400µg of Folic Acid daily.

I had all the pre heart attack symptoms...could hardly walk anywhere. I read that folic acid could help.
The effect was remarkable. Nearly all the symptoms disappeared.
