What is Folic Acid? When your granny told you to
eat your greens, she knew what she was talking
about. Green leafy vegetables such as kale,
broccoli, Brussels sprouts and spinach are high
in folate, also known as folic acid or vitamin
B9. Its important for healthy cell
formation, especially for red blood cells, which
carry oxygen around our bodies. Because its
water-soluble, we can?t store it, so if levels
drop too low, you could be at risk of folate
deficiency anaemia, when there aren?t enough
healthy-functioning red blood cells to carry
oxygen around your body. These tablets not only
help you avoid folic acid deficiency, they also
support immune health, psychological functions,
and help reduce tiredness and fatigue. But for
women who are planning a baby or in the early
stages of pregnancy, this vital vitamin is doubly
important, as it supports foetus development. Low
levels of folate, the natural form of folic acid
found in our bodies, is a risk factor for birth
defects, such as spina bifida, in the unborn
baby. Therefore, The Department of Health
recommends that women take a folic acid 400?g
supplement from at least one month before
conception until the 12th week of pregnancy to
prevent this. What makes Healthspans better?
Healthspan have created a high strength
formulation to safeguard your body levels and
packed 400?g into one daily tablet. Who is this
for? These vegan folic acid tablets are especially
important for all women of child-bearing age or
those in the early stages of pregnancy.
