Folacin

Solgar Folacin is a food supplement containing folic acid, also known as vitamin B9.

Derived from the Latin name Folum (leaf), Folic Acid was first discovered in spinach leaves in 1941.

In line with the researches, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that expectant mothers use folic acid regularly.

Low folate from folic acid is a risk factor for neural tube defects in fetal development.

Supplemental folic acid intake increases the mother's folate level.

In order to achieve the beneficial effect, 400 mcg of folic acid should be taken daily at least 1 month before and 3 months after pregnancy.
