Folic acid is especially important in foetal development with the
Department of Health advising that all women planning a pregnancy
should take a supplement of 400µg daily from the start of trying to
conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy. Yet, despite the
importance of folic acid, a recent poll found that only 56 per cent
of women aged 15-55 were aware of its benefits and that just 15 per
cent took a supplement both when trying for a baby and during the
pregnancy.
This nutrient is now also known to help heart health by its role in
reducing homocysteine, a harmful chemical present in blood that is
linked to heart disease. Indeed one team of researchers has
estimated that increasing folic acid intake could reduce the risk of
ischaemic heart disease by 16 per cent, deep vein thrombosis by 25
per cent, and stroke by 24 per cent. Still nine out of ten adults
consume too little folic acid.
Typically per tablet:
Folic Acid 400µg
Tableted with: DiCalcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose,
Silicon Dioxide, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate.
Recommended Intake:
1 tablet daily with a meal
Suitable for vegetarians.
