What are Folic Acid Tablets 400­mcg?

Folic Acid is also known as Vitamin B9 or Folate. It’s perhaps best known as being an important vitamin to take during pregnancy as it’s able to increase maternal folate status, contributes to maternal tissue growth** and reduces the risk of central neural tube defects in unborn babies***.

Benefits of this vitamin are not just limited to mums-to-be as folate also contributes to normal amino acid synthesis, blood formation and psychological function as well as supporting the immune system and playing a role in cell division.

Folic Acid can be consumed through the diet, with cruciferous vegetables, legumes and fortified cereals being the most common sources. The NHS currently recommend supplementation with 400μg Folic Acid per day for any women who are trying for a baby until they’re 12 weeks pregnant*.
