HealthAid Nutra-Folate 1000 mg, 30 Tablets

HealthAid Nutra-Folate tablets contain L-methylfolate (5-MTHF), which is a superior alternative to folic acid, as it is a stable, safe, and highly biologically active form of folate (vitamin B9). Unlike folic acid, L-methylfolate doesn't require an enzyme for its conversion. For this reason, L-methylfolate is the best option, particularly for those with the MTHFR mutation, as they can't metabolize folic acid.

Deficiency of folate leads to fatigue and tiredness, anemia (usually combined with B12 deficiency), painful mouth sores, poor memory and focus, low mood, depression, insomnia, and dark skin spots. Increased risk of birth defects is also linked to the deficiency of folate (as well as vitamin B12). For this reason, the government's chief medical officer advises that all women planning a pregnancy should take 400 g of supplemental folate daily from the start of trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy.

Indication:

• One tablet daily with a meal.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily intake unless advised by a suitably qualified person.
