HoneyCombs Gotas de Vitamina B9 (Ácido Fólico) – Suplemento Líquido de Folato, 30 ml

What is folic acid and why is it important?

Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that the body needs for vital functions such as blood cell formation and tissue growth. It is especially important during pregnancy, as it contributes to the healthy development of the fetus. However, the body does not produce it on its own, so it must be obtained through diet or food supplements. Liquid folic acid drops offer a convenient and rapidly absorbed way to ensure an adequate supply of this key vitamin.

Benefits of folic acid backed by the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for folic acid. These include:

• Maternal tissue growth during pregnancy: Folic acid contributes to the growth of maternal tissues, which is essential for the baby's development and the mother's health.
• Normal blood cell formation: Helps maintain adequate red blood cell levels, preventing fatigue and promoting oxygen transport.
• Normal homocysteine metabolism: Vitamin B9 participates in the regulation of homocysteine, an amino acid that in excess can be harmful to the cardiovascular system.

In addition, folic acid contributes to normal energy metabolism and normal psychological function. These benefits make it an essential nutrient at any stage of life, but especially during gestation.

Why choose liquid folic acid drops?

HoneyCombs folic acid drops stand out for their highly bioavailable liquid format. Unlike tablets or capsules, the drops are rapidly absorbed under the tongue (sublingual route), allowing the nutrient to pass directly into the bloodstream, without going through the digestive system. This is ideal for people who have difficulty swallowing pills or who have intestinal absorption problems.

In addition, they are made with a base of pure vegetable glycerin and water, without alcohol or artificial additives. The cold-processing preserves the potency of vitamin B9, ensuring its effectiveness. The product is vegan, gluten-free and suitable for special diets.

Each 30 ml container provides 36 doses (approximately 400 µg per drop), which facilitates daily supplementation adjusted to the recommendations of health authorities.

Who is this supplement suitable for?

This folic acid supplement is especially indicated for:

• Women of childbearing age or pregnant: The recommended daily dose of 400 µg before and during pregnancy helps to cover the increased needs for vitamin B9.
• People with restrictive diets: Vegans, vegetarians or those following low-folate diets can benefit from an extra intake.
• Adults looking for natural energy support: Vitamin B9 contributes to energy metabolism, helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
• Those who prefer liquid formats: Ideal for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets or simply prefer a more versatile option.

It is important to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation, especially during pregnancy or if you are taking other medications.

How to incorporate vitamin B9 drops into your routine

Using the drops is simple: shake the bottle well, fill the dropper to the indicated mark (generally 1 ml or 8 drops, depending on the concentration) and place the drops directly under the tongue. Hold for a few seconds before swallowing to facilitate sublingual absorption. You can take them with or without food, preferably at the same time each day to create a habit.

For optimal integration, combine them with a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Remember that food supplements do not replace a varied and healthy diet.

Frequently asked questions about liquid folic acid

How much folic acid should I take per day? The general recommendation is 400 µg per day for adults, and 600 µg during pregnancy, according to the guidelines of the Spanish Society of Gynaecology. However, the dose may vary according to individual needs; consult your doctor.

Is methylated folate better than synthetic folic acid? Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9.

This product contains folic acid, but if you have absorption problems, your doctor may recommend methylfolate. In any case, folic acid is safe and effective for most of the population.

Do they have side effects? At recommended doses, folic acid is generally well tolerated. Very high doses can cause mild digestive discomfort. Do not exceed the indicated daily dose.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
