Blackmores Folate is a source of folic acid which may reduce the risk of birth defects of the brain and/or spinal cord, such as spina bifida or anencephaly.
Taken daily for one month before conception and during pregnancy, folate, also called folic acid, plays a role in DNA and RNA synthesis, which is critical for cellular division. Adequate folic acid is required in order for cells to divide properly. Since the development and growth of a foetus involves constant cell division, there’s an increase in demand for folate.
Supplementation of folate is recommended for at least one month prior to conception and during pregnancy.
