Folic Acid 5 mg 100 capsules

Folic Acid 5MG capsules, designed and manufactured by the leading nutritional supplement company BioTech Pharmacal, is a premium source of folic acid. Folic acid, also known as folate, is a B vitamin that's an essential source of nutrients to numerous bodily functions.

Folic acid is a vital health component for pregnant women and infants, but it's also an important nutrient that's valuable throughout life, responsible for proper growth and maintenance of the cells. Research even suggests that using supplements like Folic Acid 5MG capsules can improve cardiovascular and bone health.

While folic acid is present in dietary sources, cooking can often reduce the amount of natural folate in food, meaning that supplementation by buying Folic Acid 5MG capsules is a great way to be certain you're getting a regular dose of this important vitamin.

Better Pregnancy Health

Folic acid supplements are hugely beneficial to pregnant women. Taking a daily supplement of folic acid before and during pregnant can help to prevent birth defects in a baby's spinal cord and brain. Pregnant women are encouraged to take at least 400 MCG of folic acid every day to promote the health of their baby.

Pregnant women or women looking to become pregnant will find Folic Acid 5MG capsules especially helpful before the pregnancy and especially during the first 3 to 4 weeks when most birth defects occur. Having a healthy amount of folic acid in the system during those formative weeks is vital.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that women looking to become pregnant should start taking a folic acid supplement daily at least a month before becoming pregnant, and every day throughout the pregnancy. It's never too early to start, however, as the CDC also recommends that folic acid be taken by every woman of childbearing age.

Folate Deficiency

Deficiency of folic acid is especially problematic in women who are pregnant, as a lack of folate in the body can cause the baby's neural tube to not close correctly, developing health problems known as neural tube defects. These neural tube defects include spina bifida, which is the incomplete development of the spinal cord, and anecephaly, which is the incomplete development of the major parts of a baby's brain.

Taking folic acid supplements during pregnancy can also help prevent: premature birth, low birth weight, poor growth in the womb, cleft lip and palate, and more.

In addition to encouraging the overall health of pregnant women and their babies, Folic Acid 5MG and other BioTech Pharmacal folic acid supplements help to avoid the potentially serious complications caused by folate deficiency.

Those suffering with a deficiency of folic acid can result in such health problems as: diarrhea, mental confusion, forgetfulness, depression, heart palpatations and more.

Taking a regular dietary supplement like BioTech Pharmacal brand Folic Acid capsules helps to promote overall, full body health and avoid the negative consequences of folate deficiency.
