Liquid Folic Acid 800 mcg, 237 ml

What is folic acid and why is it important?

Discover Liquid Folic Acid — Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that the body needs for various vital functions. This water-soluble vitamin plays a key role in DNA synthesis, cell division, and tissue growth. In particular, folic acid is fundamental during pregnancy, as it contributes to the proper development of the fetus. In addition, it is involved in the formation of red blood cells and in the metabolism of homocysteine, an amino acid related to cardiovascular health.

This liquid folic acid supplement offers 800 mcg per dose in an easily absorbed formula, designed for those looking for a convenient and effective way to obtain this vitamin.

Benefits of folic acid according to the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated and approved several health claims for folic acid. Among them:

• Contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy. For this reason, it is recommended to supplement with folic acid before and during gestation.
• Contributes to normal blood cell formation. Folic acid helps maintain adequate levels of red blood cells, which favors oxygen transport in the body.
• Contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. A balanced homocysteine metabolism is important for heart and blood vessel health.

It is important to remember that these benefits are obtained in the context of a varied and balanced diet, and that food supplements do not replace a healthy diet.

Recommended daily dose

The recommended daily dose of folic acid varies according to the stage of life. For the general population, an intake of 400 µg per day is suggested. During pregnancy, health authorities, such as the Spanish Society of Gynecology, recommend 400-600 µg daily, starting at least one month before conception and continuing during the first trimester.

This liquid supplement provides 800 µg per dose (approximately 0.8 mg), thus covering daily needs. However, the recommended dose should not be exceeded without consulting a healthcare professional. The liquid presentation allows for precise dosing and rapid absorption thanks to its Rapid Sorb technology.
