The product contains 400 µg of methylated folic acid. It is a form that is well absorbed and shows high bioavailability.
Folic acid supplementation is particularly recommended:
- for women before, during and after pregnancy (folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and is involved in cell division),
- for the maintenance of the normal functioning of the immune system,
- for the maintenance of normal homocysteine metabolism.
Low maternal folate levels are a risk factor for the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. A beneficial effect occurs with a daily supplementary intake of 400 μg of folic acid for at least one month before conception and up to three months after conception.
