Folic Acid
Folic acid, the most common form of folate in supplements and fortified foods, requires the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) to be converted to L-methylfolate, the activated form of folate used by the body for many biochemical reactions. About half of the population have genetic variations that reduce the ability of the MTHFR enzyme to make this conversion. For this population, L-methylfolate supplementation is far more effective in providing this form of folate.• Supports healthy mood, cardiovascular, and nerve function• Important for normal production of serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine• Essential for converting homocysteine to methionine  Dietary Considerations Dairy/ Milk Free Gluten Free Egg Free Tree Nut Free Peanut Free  Suggested Use Use only as directed by a healthcare professional.  Serving Size: 1 Vegetable Capsule  Servings Per Container: 90  Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Folate (10 mg folate from 13.7 mg L-5-Methylfolate, calcium salt) DFE 16.7 mg 4175% Glycine 260 mg  Other Ingredients vegetarian cellulose capsule  Warnings Caution: Pregnant or lactating women, or individuals taking prescription medications, consult your healthcare professional before taking this product.

Folic acid is one of the most important nutrients a woman of childbearing age can consume. Folic acid helps protect against neural tube defects, which causes spina bifida. Spinda bifida happens when the vertebrae does not properly form around the spinal cord. To help protect against neural tube defects, expectant moms and those who are thinking of becoming a mother should consume at least 400 micrograms of folic acid daily.
Folic acid can be found in a variety of food items, including lentils, broccoli, okra, citrus fruit and fortified cereals. Eating a variety of foods rich in folic acid can help protect against neural tube defects. To ensure expectant moms are receiving ample amounts of folic acid, they should eat a variety of foods rich in folic acid and take a prenatal supplement.
