Prenatal Folic Acid 400 mcg Tablets – 30 Count

Folic acid (Vitamin B9) plays a crucial role in pre-conception and throughout pregnancy, supporting healthy conception and fetal development. Pregnancy significantly increases folic acid requirements. It’s vital for placenta formation, with deficiencies potentially leading to placental insufficiency and miscarriage. Working synergistically with Vitamin B12, folic acid is essential for cell division, crucial for rapidly growing embryonic tissues. It participates in protein and nucleic acid (DNA & RNA) synthesis, contributing to cell regeneration, maintaining healthy tissues and organs, and potentially reducing the risk of malignant cell transformation. Folic acid also reduces the risk of neural tube defects and orofacial clefts in the developing fetus. During breastfeeding, infants receive necessary folate through breast milk. Maternal folic acid deficiency can impact postpartum well-being, potentially causing postpartum depression, fatigue, and reduced milk production with lower B9 content, impacting the infant’s development. Infants lacking sufficient folic acid may experience slowed weight gain, developmental delays (mental and physical), weakened immunity, and digestive issues. Ensure optimal health for mother and child with our high-quality prenatal folic acid supplement.
