Source Naturals MegaFolinic 800 mcg Ácido Fólico Bioactivo, 120 Comprimidos

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. This Source Naturals supplement offers 800 mcg of folic acid in its bioactive form (methylfolate), ready to be used by the body. It is especially relevant during pregnancy, as it contributes to the growth of maternal tissues, but it is also beneficial for general health.

Benefits of folic acid according to the EFSA

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), folic acid contributes to:

• The growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy.
• Normal blood cell formation.
• Normal homocysteine metabolism.
• Normal immune system function.
• The reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

These statements are backed by science and approved by European health authorities. It is important to remember that food supplements do not replace a balanced diet.

What makes Source Naturals' MegaFolinic unique?

MegaFolinic uses methylfolate (5-MTHF), the biologically active form of folic acid. This means that the body can use it directly, without the need for hepatic conversion. It is ideal for people with genetic variants that make it difficult to convert synthetic folic acid. Each tablet provides 800 mcg, a dose higher than the standard, designed to cover high needs.

Recommended daily dose

It is recommended to take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal. For pregnant or breastfeeding women, the usual dose is 400-600 mcg daily, according to the guidelines of the Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation.

Who is it suitable for?

This supplement is indicated for:

• Women of childbearing age, pregnant or breastfeeding.
• People with high homocysteine levels.
• Those looking to support brain and cellular health.
• Individuals with MTHFR mutations who require methylfolate.

However, anyone can benefit from an adequate intake of folic acid, always within the recommended doses.
