Folic acid, also known as Vitamin B9 or folate, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in the body. It is particularly known for its significance during pregnancy, as it is crucial for the growth and development of the fetal nervous system.

It is also necessary for the production and repair of DNA, which is essential for cell growth and division. Additionally, it is involved in the formation of red blood cells and supports the immune system in its functioning.

A deficiency in folic acid can lead to various health problems. In pregnant women, a lack of folic acid can result in neural tube defects in the baby, such as spina bifida. Therefore, it is important for women who are planning to become pregnant to consume sufficient folic acid to compensate for potential deficiencies.

Good sources of folic acid include green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale, pulses, citrus fruits, avocados, liver and fortified cereals. In some cases, it may be difficult to get enough folic acid through diet alone. In such cases, a doctor may recommend taking a folic acid supplement such as our Femifol.

However, it is crucial to adhere to the recommended daily dosage, as excessive folic acid intake can also have negative effects. Therefore, always discuss your individual needs and the proper dosage with medical professionals.

For risks and side effects, read the package leaflet and ask your doctor or pharmacist.
