Holland & Barrett Folic Acid 400µgTablets offer crucial nutritional support during conception and pregnancy. As a supplement form of the B vitamin Folate, folic acid plays a key role in cell production, which is vital for the rapid cell growth that occurs during the early development of tissues and organs in pregnancy. Folic acid, particularly at a dosage of 400µg, is essential for a healthy pregnancy as it provides critical support in several ways. It significantly reduces the risk of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida and anencephaly, by aiding in the proper development of the baby’s brain and spine. Additionally, folic acid helps prevent anemia in the mother, ensuring both she and her baby receive sufficient oxygen and nutrients. It also plays a role in the health and function of the placenta, which is vital for nutrient and oxygen transfer to the baby. By promoting healthy growth and reducing the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight, folic acid is a key nutrient for both maternal and fetal health before and during pregnancy. Recommended both before and throughout pregnancy, folic acid ensures that your body has the necessary nutrients to support new cell formation and the healthy development of the baby.
