Folic Acid 400 mcg - 250 tabs, (Nature Made)
Healthful diets with adequate folate may reduce a women`s risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord birth defect. The Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences recommends that women capable of becoming pregnant consume 400 mcg of folic acid per day.Folic acid, also known as folate and folacin, is essential in cell division, DNA synthesis, and the manufacturing of brain chemicals, or neurotransmitters in the body. Without adequate levels of folic acid, cells do not divide properly. Folic acid is vital to the development of the nervous system of a fetus. A deficiency of folic acid during pregnancy has been linked to several birth defects, such as the neural tube defect spina bifida. Therefore, it is critical for women of child-bearing age to consume 400 mcg of folic acid per day. In addition, folic acid may also play a significant role in heart health. It does so by helping to keep homocysteine levels down in the blood. Homocysteine is a substance that formed when Vitamin B12 and folic acid levels are low, and research has indicated it may be a possible risk factor for heart health. Folic acid is recommended to be part of a daily regimen for Women’s Health, Stress, Heart Health, Mood/Emotional Well-Being, Prenatal.
SUGGESTED USAGE
Take one tablet daily with a meal (or as recommended by your health care provider). Keep bottle tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Do not use if imprinted seal under cap is broken or missing.
Folic acid supplementation should always include vitamin B12 supplementation as well, because taking just a folic acid supplement can mask an underlying B12 deficiency.These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

FAQ
What is the difference between folic acid and folate?
Folic Acid and folate are both terms used to describe this vitamin, but these terms have different meanings. Folic acid describes the chemical compound, pteroymonoglutamic acid, which is commonly given as a vitamin supplement. Folate is the general term used to refer to any of the protein-bound or other conjugated forms of folic acid, which are the forms generally found in foods. Folic acid supplements and dietary folate have different chemical structures. Studies have shown that the body may more easily use the folic acid found in supplements than the folate found in foods. Studies have shown that up to 90% absorbs in the folic acid form, and as little as 50% of folate can be absorbed from food.
Why have I heard that a Folic Acid supplement is essential during child bearing years?
Folic Acid plays a vital role in the prevention of neural tube birth defects. Such birth defects, including anencephaly and spina bifida, often result in severe disability or death.
Is Folic Acid only good for women of child-bearing age?
No. Folic Acid is an essential B vitamin which may help with cardiovascular health. It does this by helping to maintain normal homocysteine levels.
