Boosts Folic Acid Levels

Blackmores Folate is a source of folic acid which, if taken daily for one month before conception and during pregnancy, may reduce the risk of women having a child with brain defects.

Key Features of Blackmores Folate

Folate, also called folic acid, plays a role in DNA and RNA synthesis and so is critical in cellular division. In order to divide properly cells need adequate folic acid. The development and growth of a foetus involves constant cell division, which can lead to an increase in the mother’s demand for folate.

Supplementation of folate is recommended for at least one month prior to conception and during pregnancy, and may reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the unborn child.

Once pregnant consider changing to Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Advanced. This is a premium, comprehensive formulation which contains vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids beneficial for both mother and baby.

Directions

Adults - Take 1 tablet a day with a meal, or as professionally prescribed.

Children under 12 years - Only as professionally prescribed.
