Folic Acid (Folate) 400µg (120 Vegan Capsules) by G&G Vitamins is a high-quality daily folate supplement providing the active L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) form of folic acid.

For women of childbearing age, supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status, helping to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the developing foetus when taken daily for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.

Each capsule provides 400µg of active 5-MTHF folate in a pure vegetable cellulose shell, free from synthetic additives and fillers. This supplement is suitable for vegans, kosher-approved, non-GMO, and contains no major allergens.
