Lamberts Folic acid 100 tablets of 400μg LP-0049072

Folic Acid is a water-soluble vitamin and was identified in the 1940s when it was extracted from spinach. Its main sources are green leafy vegetables and whole grains. However, cooking and storage can reduce its levels in foods. The body cannot store folic acid for the long term, and it plays an essential role in cell multiplication and is essential for the formation of DNA and RNA, so it is especially important in foetal development. This nutrient also contributes to the process of cell division, normal amino acid synthesis and normal psychological function. Furthermore, it contributes to the normal metabolism of homocysteine, which is a compound involved in the formation of plaques on the walls of blood vessels; therefore, folic acid is an important nutrient in the diet of all adults, not only in pregnancy. This is a good reason to support our diet with green leafy vegetables, a rich source of this important nutrient since the body cannot store folic acid in the long term. It is recommended to take 1 tablet a day with a meal. A high intake of folic acid can mask the symptoms of a vitamin B12 deficiency (pernicious anemia). Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light and out of the reach of small children.
