Folic Acid 800mcg Tablets
Folic acid is a pregnancy superhero! Taking a prenatal vitamin with the recommended 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid before and during pregnancy can help prevent birth defects of your baby's brain and spinal cord. Take it every day and go ahead and have a bowl of fortified cereal, too. What Is Folic Acid? Folic acid is a man-made form of a B vitamin called folate. Folate plays an important role in the production of red blood cells and helps your baby's neural tube develop into her brain and spinal cord. Birth defects occur within the first 3-4 weeks of pregnancy. So it's important to have folate in your system during those early stages when your baby's brain and spinal cord are developing. If you talked to your doctor when you were trying to conceive, she probably told you to start taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid. One study showed that women who took folic acid for at least a year before getting pregnant cut their chances of delivering early The CDC recommends that you start taking folic acid every day for at least a month before you become pregnant, and every day while you are pregnant. However, the CDC also recommends that all women of childbearing age take folic acid every day. So you'd be fine to start taking it even earlier.Key FeaturesMay Boost Cardiovascular Health.Reduces risk of StrokePreventing and treating low blood levels of folate Helps in the development of the baby's neural tube.What's In the Box100 Tablets

Folate (Folic Acid) 400mcg, 250 Tablets
Folate and folic acid are forms of a water-soluble B vitamin.Some people use folic acid to prevent colon cancer or cervical cancer. It is also used to prevent heart disease and stroke, as well as to reduce blood levels of a chemical called homocysteine. High homocysteine levels might be a risk for heart disease.It's well known that Folic Acid is important for pregnant women, but did you also know that this essential B Vitamin also supports cardiovascular health in women and men? Folic Acid is part of a triad of B Vitamins - along with Vitamins B-6 and B-12 - that helps promote heart health. The active folate is Metafolin (L-methyfolate) which is bioidentical to the bioactive form, which means no conversion by the body is needed. This can be quite helpful for this who have difficulty converting Folic Acid to its active form.The active folate in this formulation helps in promoting heart health as well as providing support for a healthy nervous system as well as the formulation of healthy red blood cells.Key Features Folic acid reduces the risk for birth defects of a baby's brain and spine -- spina bifida and anencephaly -- by 50% or more. Folic acid may also lower the risk of preeclampsia and early labor.A synthetic form of folic acid is used in dietary supplements and fortified foods.Folic acid deficiency is a known cause of anemia in both adults and children.What's In the Box250 Tablets

Folic Acid 800mcg X100 Tablets
Folic Acid 800 mcgFolic acid is an important prenatal vitamin for expecting mothers. It is also used by women who have recently given birth, or anyone who is interested in supporting their general health. This is because folic acid may help support reproductive health, bone health, immunity, mental function, and general well-being. Developing fetuses and newborn babies need specific nutritional support for their bones, eyes, immunity and nervous systems in addition to basic nutrition. Fortunately, there is significant overlap between the needs of the mother (and would-be mother) and developing fetuses and babies. Folic acid is equally important to both. The nutrient is essential for normal, healthy cell division. It helps support nerve and brain development. In fact, folic acid is so important to normal development that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends folic acid to most pregnant women to support healthy neural tube development. Folic acid has another very specific nutritional function in the body. It is required for the normal metabolism of homocysteine, which if not metabolized may reduce the health of the cardiovascular system.Key FeaturesFolic acid is indicated for the prevention of some birth defectsFolic acid is crucial to support the rapid growth of the placenta and fetus and may reduce the risk of having a child with brain or spinal cord birth defects.Vitamin B.

Super Folate Folic Acid 400Mcg Per Day
SuperFolate is a highly bioavailable vitamin B9 supplement. Active form, immediately available to use by cells.Voted 'Product of the Year' at the NutraIngredients Award 2016.Recommended during pregnancy to ensure healthy fetal development.Contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and normal psychological function.Contributes to normal blood formation and reduces fatigue.SuperFolate Supplement -Vitamin B9 to Help with Healthy Fetal DevelopmentSuperFolate consists of a new form of vitamin B9, Quatrefolic®, providing (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid. Studies have highlighted its key role in cell growth, DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. What is SuperFolate composed of? Quatrefolic® is a form of vitamin B9 with excellent bioavailability which does not produce elevated levels of unmetabolised folic acid, the long-term effects of which have yet to be determined. In March 2014, the European Commission approved this new form of vitamin B9 as a Novel Food Ingredient for use in dietary supplements following the EFSA's favourable opinion delivered in October 2013, and DFA approval of Quatrefolic® as a New Dietary Ingredient in 2010. Quatrefolic® - the fourth-generation folate - offers improved water-solubility as well as optimal bioavailability compared with other forms of folic acid because it does not have to be metabolically converted and is thus immediately available for use by cells. Neither does it produce increased levels of unmetabolised folic acid, the potential long-term effects of which are still the subject of scientific debate and is therefore completely safe. The conversion of folic acid into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is mediated by the action of enzymes but these can become saturated when high levels of folic acid are ingested over long periods. Indeed, long-term supplementation with standard folic acid-based products may accelerate the development of cancer in people with pre-cancerous lesions or tumours. SuperFolate, therefore, represents a completely safe form of vitamin B9 with all the known properties of folates naturally present in the diet. What are the benefits associated with SuperFolate? The importance of B9 is well-established - the vitamin has been widely studied in young women and mothers-to-be in order to ensure healthy fetal development and reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Lack of vitamin B9 is recognised to be among the most common deficiencies and it is vital to ensure women of reproductive age have a regular and adequate intake. Like methionine, folates are key elements in the DNA methylation cycle, also known as one-carbon metabolism, which is essential for normal cell function. Folates thus act as major coenzymes in the transfer of monocarbonated groups (CH3). They help protect against genetic aberrations which may lead to the development of cancer, and also help the body synthesise proteins which destroy cancerous cells. There is now conclusive proof that deficiency in folates and vitamin B12 affects methylation processes. Combined with vitamin B12, folates also ensure that homocysteine is converted into methionine, which is essential for healthy cardiovascular function. It is, therefore, better to supplement with 5-methyltetrahydrofolate than folic acid because the former is available immediately to react with homocysteine and thus prevent hyperhomocysteinemia. Supplementing with SuperFolate will thus have benefits for: Cardiovascular disease.Colon cancer and polyps, as demonstrated in numerous epidemiological studies.End-stage renal failure.Diabetic neuropathy.Problems of the central nervous system such as cognitive impairment, age-related memory loss and depression, due to improved transport across the blood-brain barrier. SuperFolate is, therefore, the most active and safest form of vitamin B9, now available to buy at Supersmart. Each SuperFolate tablet contains 370mcg of Quatrefolic® providing 200 mcg of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid. Taking two tablets a day with meals can provide a powerful defence against various age-related diseases. Buy SuperFolate for a safe intake of vitamin B9.Key FeaturesWhat is it? Quatrefolic is a form of vitamin B9 with excellent bioavailability that does not produce increased amounts of non-metabolised folic acid. What are the benefits? Highly bioavailable vitamin B9 dietary supplement with improved bioeffectiveness. Studies have highlighted its key role for cell growth, DNA synthesis and the formation of red blood cells.

Folic Acid 400mcg X100 Tablets
Folic Acid 400 mcgFolic acid is an important prenatal vitamin for expecting mothers. It is also used by women who have recently given birth, or anyone who is interested in supporting their general health. This is because folic acid may help support reproductive health, bone health, immunity, mental function, and general well-being. Developing fetuses and newborn babies need specific nutritional support for their bones, eyes, immunity and nervous systems in addition to basic nutrition. Fortunately, there is significant overlap between the needs of the mother (and would-be mother) and developing fetuses and babies. Folic acid is equally important to both. The nutrient is essential for normal, healthy cell division. It helps support nerve and brain development. In fact, folic acid is so important to normal development that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends folic acid to most pregnant women to support healthy neural tube development. Folic acid has another very specific nutritional function in the body. It is required for the normal metabolism of homocysteine, which if not metabolized may reduce the health of the cardiovascular system.Key FeaturesFolic acid is indicated for the prevention of some birth defectsFolic acid is crucial to support the rapid growth of the placenta and fetus and may reduce the risk of having a child with brain or spinal cord birth defects.Vitamin B.

Super Folate Supplement - Folic Acidd 400 Mcg Per Day
SuperFolate is a highly bioavailable vitamin B9 supplement. Active form, immediately available to use by cells.Voted 'Product of the Year' at the NutraIngredients Award 2016.Recommended during pregnancy to ensure healthy fetal development.Contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and normal psychological function.Contributes to normal blood formation and reduces fatigue.SuperFolate Supplement -Vitamin B9 to Help with Healthy Fetal DevelopmentSuperFolate consists of a new form of vitamin B9, Quatrefolic®, providing (6S) 5-methyltetrahydro folic acidd. Studies have highlighted its key role in cell growth, DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. What is SuperFolate composed of?Like methionine, folates are key elements in the DNA methylation cycle, also known as one-carbon metabolism, which is essential for normal cell function. Folates thus act as major coenzymes in the transfer of monocarbonated groups (CH3). They help protect against genetic aberrations which may lead to the development of cancer, and also help the body synthesise proteins which destroy cancerous cells. There is now conclusive proof that deficiency in folates and vitamin B12 affects methylation processes. Combined with vitamin B12, folates also ensure that homocysteine is converted into methionine, which is essential for healthy cardiovascular function. It is, therefore, better to supplement with 5-methyltetrahydrofolate than folic acidd because the former is available immediately to react with homocysteine and thus prevent hyperhomocysteinemia. Supplementing with SuperFolate will thus have benefits for: Cardiovascular disease.Colon cancer and polyps, as demonstrated in numerous epidemiological studies.End-stage renal failure.Diabetic neuropathy.Problems of the central nervous system such as cognitive impairment, age-related memory loss and depression, due to improved transport across the blood-brain barrier. SuperFolate is, therefore, the most active and safest form of vitamin B9, now available to buy at Supersmart. Each SuperFolate tablet contains 370mcg of Quatrefolic® providing 200 mcg of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid. Taking two tablets a day with meals can provide a powerful defence against various age-related diseases. Buy SuperFolate for a safe intake of vitamin B9.Quatrefolic® is a form of vitamin B9 with excellent bioavailability which does not produce elevated levels of unmetabolised folic acidd, the long-term effects of which have yet to be determined. In March 2014, the European Commission approved this new form of vitamin B9 as a Novel Food Ingredient for use in dietary supplements following the EFSA's favourable opinion delivered in October 2013, and DFA approval of Quatrefolic® as a New Dietary Ingredient in 2010. Quatrefolic® - the fourth-generation folate - offers improved water-solubility as well as optimal bioavailability compared with other forms of folic acidd because it does not have to be metabolically converted and is thus immediately available for use by cells. Neither does it produce increased levels of unmetabolised folic acidd, the potential long-term effects of which are still the subject of scientific debate and is therefore completely safe. The conversion of folic acidd into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is mediated by the action of enzymes but these can become saturated when high levels of folic acidd are ingested over long periods. Indeed, long-term supplementation with standard folic acidd-based products may accelerate the development of cancer in people with pre-cancerous lesions or tumours. SuperFolate, therefore, represents a completely safe form of vitamin B9 with all the known properties of folates naturally present in the diet. What are the benefits associated with SuperFolate? The importance of B9 is well-established - the vitamin has been widely studied in young women and mothers-to-be in order to ensure healthy fetal development and reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Lack of vitamin B9 is recognised to be among the most common deficiencies and it is vital to ensure women of reproductive age have a regular and adequate intake.Key FeaturesWhat is it? Quatrefolic is a form of vitamin B9 with excellent bioavailability that does not produce increased amounts of non-metabolised folic acidd. What are the benefits? Highly bioavailable vitamin B9 dietary supplement with improved bioeffectiveness. Studies have highlighted its key role for cell growth, DNA synthesis and the formation of red blood cells. Recommended use: take 2 tablets per day. Contains: (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (from 740 mg quatrefolic (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt).
