Folic Acid 400µg
Our Folic Acid 400µg tablets provide the daily amount of folic acid recommended by the UK Department of Health for women planning a pregnancy and throughout the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Taking folic acid during this period helps reduce the risk of NTD (neural tube defects) affected pregnancies.
Folic acid is important for overall health, not just during pregnancy. It helps make healthy red blood cells, supports homocysteine levels, and contributes to normal psychological health.
Some people may also need extra folic acid due to certain medical conditions, medications, or dietary factors, upon the advice of a healthcare professional.
Each easy-to-swallow tablet delivers 400µg of vitamin B9 (folic acid) in a convenient one-a-day format.
Manufactured in the UK to strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, this formula is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

Why take Folic Acid 400µg?
Conception and pregnancy: The Department of Health recommends that women who are planning a pregnancy, or who are in the first three months of pregnancy, take 400 micrograms (µg) of folic acid every day.
Many women do not obtain enough folate from diet alone. Supplementing with folic acid helps increase maternal folate status before and during early pregnancy. A beneficial effect is obtained with a supplemental daily intake of 400µg folic acid for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
Brain health: Individuals looking to support brain health may benefit from taking folic acid as it contributes to normal psychological function.
Overall wellbeing: Folic acid is also suitable for those interested in supporting overall wellbeing since it supports healthy red blood cell formation and normal cell division.
Why is adequate maternal folate status important?
- Supplemental folic acid increases maternal folate status.
- Low maternal folate status is a recognised risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus.
