Folic Acid 800 mcg 100s

Product Description

This special form of Folic Acid was developed to increase the uptake of this nutrient in the system. We have methylated the folic acid so it is broken down and absorbed more quickly in the GI tract.

Folic Acid is an important B vitamin that increases cellular function* and also has been shown to prevent major birth defects during pregnancy.* Folic acid may reduce neural tube defects in babies born from women taking folic acid.*

As you age, the amount of folic acid from food you can absorb is diminished. It is very important to supplement this important nutrient, particularly as you age.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Why is folic acid so important?
Folic Acid can be found in fruits and vegetables. However, many people who do not eat the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables may not be obtaining enough of this important nutrient.

What does folic acid do in the body?
Folic Acid helps to form red blood cells, aids in protein metabolism and cell growth, and helps to prevent neural tube defects during the first critical month of pregnancy*.

What does “methylated” mean?
When Folic Acid receives a methyl group in the bloodstream, we call it methylization. This methyl group, which is a combination of hydrogen and carbon, improves the uptake of folic acid into the cells and “jumpstarts” its function.
