Acido folico - 800 mcg 250 capsule

As a mother-to-be, your body becomes not only your home, but also the place where a new life is developing. This is an extraordinary time when taking care of your own health is extremely important. The dietary supplement Folic Acid 800 mcg 250 Capsules from SWANSON is designed to support you during this special period. Folic acid, which is a synthetic form of vitamin B9, plays a key role in the body, especially during pregnancy. It is mainly found in nature in the form of folate and, as the body cannot produce it on its own, it must be supplied with food or in the form of supplementation.

Vitamin B9 is a key component in the synthesis of nucleotides, which are essential for the production of DNA and thus for the growth and proper functioning of all cells and tissues in the body. As an important part of the B vitamins, folic acid contributes to lowering homocysteine levels in the blood - it supports healthy blood vessel function and has a positive effect on cholesterol levels. Folic acid is particularly important in the early stages of foetal development, as it plays a key role in the formation of the neural tube, from which the baby's brain and spinal cord develop. This process takes place between the 2nd and 4th week of pregnancy and its proper progress is essential for the healthy development of the little one. In the later stages of pregnancy, folic acid continues to play an important role in supporting the health of blood vessels and the production of erythrocytes, which is crucial for transporting oxygen to the developing body.

Reach for folic acid and take care of both yourself and the health of your future baby!
