Description
Folic acid is the man-made form of folate, a B vitamin the body needs to make DNA and healthy red blood cells. Taking 400mcg a day before conception and for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is the standard advice to help protect a baby’s developing brain and spine. Valupak Folic Acid 400mcg gives exactly that dose in a small, affordable tablet.
Why people choose it
- Supplemental folate increases maternal folate status and supports maternal tissue growth in pregnancy
- Contributes to normal blood formation
- Helps reduce tiredness and fatigue
- The standard pre-pregnancy dose
How to take it
Adults: take 1 tablet a day with water. Women planning a pregnancy are usually advised to start before conception and continue until 12 weeks.
Good to know
Some women need a higher dose (for example with diabetes, epilepsy medicines or a family history of neural tube defects), so check with your doctor or midwife. Folic acid can hide a vitamin B12 deficiency. Keep out of reach of children.
