Benefits of folic acid according to the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for folic acid. Among them, we highlight the following:

• Folic acid contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy.
• Folic acid contributes to normal blood cell formation.
• Folic acid contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.

These benefits make folic acid a fundamental nutrient for women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and anyone who wishes to maintain good blood and cardiovascular health.

What is the recommended daily dose?

The suggested dose of MegaFolinic is 1 tablet per day, which provides 800 mcg of folic acid. This amount covers and even exceeds the usual daily recommendations (400 µg for adults, 400-600 µg during pregnancy according to health authorities). However, the recommended daily dose indicated on the package should not be exceeded.

It is important to remember that food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Maintaining a varied diet rich in natural folates (green leafy vegetables, legumes, fruits) is the basis of good health.

Who is this supplement suitable for?

MegaFolinic is especially indicated for:

• Women planning a pregnancy or who are pregnant, to support fetal development.
• People with increased folic acid needs, such as those with restrictive diets or certain health conditions.
• Those who wish to supplement their vitamin B9 intake to maintain adequate homocysteine levels.

In addition, being a gluten-free and dairy-free product, it is suitable for people with food intolerances or allergies.

Folic acid or methylfolate?

MegaFolinic contains folic acid in its traditional synthetic form. Unlike methylfolate (5-MTHF), which is the active and directly usable form by the body, folic acid needs to be converted in the liver and other tissues. This conversion is efficient in most people, but some genetic variants (such as the MTHFR mutation) can hinder the process. In such cases, methylfolate may be preferable. Source Naturals also offers methylfolate options for those who need it.
