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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAside 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe’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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur formula is made in UK factories working to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to ensure our strict quality standards are met.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWant to learn more?
