Folic Acid - 800 mcg

Folic acid (vitamin B11 or B9) contributes to normal cell division and is thus involved in the production of cells and tissues, including red and white blood cells. Folate, by supporting normal blood formation, may help reduce fatigue and contribute to the normal function of the immune system. An adequate intake of folate is beneficial for homocysteine metabolism (production of methioine). Methionine, in turn, is mainly used for the production of S-adenosylmethionine, which is involved as a methyl donor in the production of DNA, RNA phospholipids, proteins and neurotransmitters, among other things. Folate is also necessary for normal brain and functions, and is therefore good for concentration, memory and mood.

Folate is especially important for women who want to become pregnant or are already pregnant. Folate contributes to tissue growth during pregnancy, thus playing a role in the formation of the placenta and supporting the normal growth of the unborn child. The advice to take folate/folic acid before and during pregnancy is therefore generally known. It may take several weeks before the amount of folate in the blood is sufficient. It is therefore wise to start with folate at least 4 weeks before conception and continue until after 8 weeks after conception.
