Windmill Ácido Fólico 800 mcg – 100 Tabletas

What is folic acid and why is it important?

Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that plays a fundamental role in the body. It contributes to the normal formation of blood cells and the normal metabolism of homocysteine. During pregnancy, its importance is even greater: folic acid contributes to the growth of maternal tissues, supporting the healthy development of the baby. This Windmill supplement provides 800 mcg of folic acid per tablet, equivalent to 1,336 mcg of dietary folate equivalents (DFE), a dose that helps meet daily needs.

Benefits of folic acid according to the EFSA

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

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