Folate is particularly important prior to conception and in the first few weeks of pregnancy for development of the foetus.
The Department of Health advise that all women planning a pregnancy should take a supplement of 400µg daily and 47% of women fail to consume the NRV of 200µg/day, which is why supplementation is recommended.
Small easy-to-swallow tablets providing 400µg of methyl folate per tablet.
In methylated form for those who cannot utilise standard folic acid.
Up to 3 times the level supplied by many people's diets, and the level that is increasingly recommended.
Methyl Folate 400ug uses the methylated form of folate for optimum absorption and utilisation in the body. It is estimated that 30-40% of the population are not able to methylate folate and will need to use a biologically active form of folate to ensure that methylation processes are not limited in the body.
Methylation is essential for the activation of many molecules and optimising the methylation process is also associated with lowering homocysteine level.
One tablet daily or as advised by your practitioner or pharmacist.
