The B vitamin Folic Acid is an important vitamin for everyone. It is used in the body to make red blood cells and help build muscles. In women's health, Folic Acid has become synonymous with conception and early pregnancy. In fact it's especially important in foetal development and governments worldwide recommend Folic Acid supplementation at 400mcg per day.
The UK Government’s Chief Medical Officer advises that all women planning a pregnancy should take a 400µg Folic Acid supplement daily from the start of trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy.
*Advice: If you are taking an individual Folic Acid supplement, combine it with 1000mcg Vitamin B12 to prevent B12 deficiency.
