Natural Factors Folic Acid 1000mcg (1 mg)
Natural Factors Folic Acid 1000 mcg (1 mg) provides a highly bioavailable form of Folate to support healthy cell division, red blood cell formation, and overall metabolic function. As a member of the B-complex family of Vitamins, Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) plays a critical role in DNA and RNA synthesis, making it essential for proper growth and development.
Folic acid is especially important before conception and during early pregnancy, as it helps regulate embryonic and fetal nerve cell formation. Adequate intake may help reduce the risk of neural tube defects, including spina bifida, when taken prior to conception and during the first trimester.
This essential vitamin supports the production of healthy red blood cells and helps prevent folic acid deficiency anemia. It also works alongside Vitamins B12 and C in protein metabolism and energy production.
Folic acid contributes to cardiovascular health by helping lower homocysteine levels in the blood an amino acid by-product that, at elevated levels, may damage blood vessel walls and increase cardiovascular risk. Additionally, adequate folate intake has been associated with a reduced risk of colon polyps. Each tablet delivers 1 mg (1000 mcg) of Folate to support brain function, circulatory health, and the maintenance of good health.
