Holland & Barrett Folic Acid 400ug - 90 per Pack

Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin. It is essential for producing new cells and is particularly important for DNA synthesis and repair. During pregnancy, it plays a critical role in the development of the baby's brain and spinal cord, helping to prevent serious birth defects.

It is recommended to start taking folic acid at least one month before you plan to conceive and to continue taking it throughout your pregnancy, especially during the first trimester.

The typical recommendation is one 400ug tablet per day. However, it is always best to follow the dosage instructions on the product packaging or consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Generally, yes, but it's advisable to consult with your doctor or a healthcare professional to ensure there are no interactions with other supplements or medications you are taking.

Folate is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B9 found in foods, while folic acid is the synthetic form used in supplements and fortified foods. Your body converts folic acid into folate to use it.

If taken as directed (one tablet per day), a 90-tablet pack will last for 90 days, or approximately three months.

Folic acid is generally well-tolerated. Some individuals might experience mild side effects like nausea, bloating, or gas. If you experience any adverse effects, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Ensure you take the tablet with a sufficient amount of water. If difficulty persists, consult a healthcare professional about alternative forms of supplementation.

Try taking the tablet with food rather than on an empty stomach. If discomfort continues, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

Refer to the product packaging for recommended dosage or consult your doctor or a registered dietitian for personalized advice.
