Folic Acid, 400 mcg, 90 Tablets, Natural Factors

Natural Factors Folic Acid delivers 400mcg of folic acid (680mcg DFE) per tablet — the essential B Vitamin (B9) critical for healthy cell division, DNA synthesis, neural tube development, and red blood cell formation. Recommended before conception and throughout early pregnancy to help prevent neural tube defects. Also supports brain function, nervous system health, cardiovascular health, and protein metabolism. Vegetarian, vegan, non-GMO, GMP certified. 90 tablets.

Why

Folic acid is the synthetic, supplemental form of folate — Vitamin B9 — one of the most essential nutrients for human health, particularly during pregnancy and periods of rapid cell growth. Folate is required for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, the production of red blood cells, and the proper development of the neural tube in early pregnancy. The neural tube — which develops into the brain and spinal cord — forms in the first 28 days of pregnancy, often before a woman even knows she is pregnant. This is why health authorities worldwide recommend that all women of childbearing age take 400mcg of folic acid daily, beginning at least one month before conception and continuing through the first trimester. Adequate folic acid intake has been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects (including spina bifida and anencephaly) by up to 70%. Beyond pregnancy, folate is essential for brain and nervous system function, mental health and mood regulation, protein metabolism, and the recycling of homocysteine — a metabolite linked to cardiovascular risk when elevated. Manufactured by Natural Factors to GMP standards, non-GMO documented and mass spectrometry lab tested through their Isura programme.

Note on MTHFR: Some people carry a genetic variant in the MTHFR gene that reduces their ability to convert folic acid into its active form (methylfolate). If you have an MTHFR variant, you may benefit from a methylfolate supplement rather than standard folic acid — consult your healthcare practitioner for personalised guidance.
