Thompson's Folic Acid 500mcg

Folic Acid carries out a variety of functions in the human body from assisting in the formation of nucleic acid, essential for growth and reproduction, to stimulating the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Folic Acid supplements may be useful in the prevention and treatment of macrocytic anaemia.

Folic Acid supplementation is important both prior to and during the first trimester of pregnancy to reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida, hydrocephaly and impaired brain development.

Folic Acid deficiency symptoms such as diarrhoea, gingivitis, depression, insomnia, irritability, forgetfulness, loss of appetite, fatigue and shortness of breath should benefit from Folic Acid supplementation.

Recommended Dosage: One tablet a day (with food) or as advised by a health professional.
