Folacin 400 mcg

About this product

Solgar Folacin is a food supplement in tablet form. Folacin (Folic Acid) 400 mcg, also known as Vitamin B9, contributes to several processes within the body, but is best known for its support of maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Folic acid is a supplement which is advised to be taken by pregnant women and those trying to conceive. It can be found in different foods, such as dark green leafy vegetables, but to make sure you reach the adequate level of intake, especially before and after conception, taking a supplement is recommended. For women of childbearing age, a daily intake of 400μg of folic acid for at least one month before and up to three months after conception increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus.
