VITABALANS Folica 400 µg pills, 30 pcs.

Folic acid (folate) is a water-soluble vitamin of the B group, which is quickly destroyed in the cooking process.
Dark green vegetables contain the highest amount of folic acid. Folic acid is necessary for the formation of proteins, nucleic acids and red blood cells, so a lack of folic acid is associated with anemia. Research shows that folic acid intake is insufficient in Finland (Finnravinto 2007, KTL). Pregnant women and women who are planning to become pregnant should take folic acid in addition through the use of a dietary supplement, because the lack of folic acid in early pregnancy increases the risk of congenital pathologies such as neural tube defects, spinal cord defects and other disorders. The recommended daily intake of folic acid for women planning to become pregnant and for women during pregnancy is 400 micrograms.
Low folic acid levels increase homocysteine, which in turn increases the risk of heart disease.
