Valupak Folic Acid

Folic acid is the synthetic version of the vitamin folate (Vitamin B9), it helps the body make healthy red blood cells. The NHS says Folic acid is used to, treat or prevent folate deficiency anaemia, help in developing your baby's brain, skull and spinal cord in pregnancy and help reduce side effects from methotrexate.

The NHS recommends that you take folic acid as soon as you start trying for a baby (ideally for 3 months before) and during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Designed for women of child-bearing age, this product provides 400μg Folic Acid daily. Supplemental Folic Acid intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing baby*. Folic Acid also plays a role in cell division and contributes to normal psychological function and normal blood formation.

This beneficial effect is obtained with a supplemental intake of 400μg daily for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
