Folic Acid 400μg
Folic Acid in a one-a-day formula
Folic acid (or vitamin B9) is the ninth vitamin of the B complex. Being a water-soluble vitamin, it is not stored in the body for long periods, making daily dietary intake necessary.
The most important biological role of folic acid is its involvement in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, thus playing a crucial role in cell division*. For this reason, it is especially important for normal blood formation and the development of maternal tissue during pregnancy*.
The importance of folic acid in maternal tissue development is highlighted by the fact that taking 400μg of folic acid during the first trimester of pregnancy is essential for preventing neural tube defects.
