Biogen Folate for Her supports maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily before and during early pregnancy.
In addition to promoting protein metabolism, it aids in the formation of red blood cells, and contributes to overall health maintenance.
Developing babies require folate (vitamin B9) to reduce the risk of congenital abnormalities and birth defects related to the brain and spine (known as neural tube defects), and taking a folic acid supplement can help to increase folate in the body.
One study¹ suggests that a folic acid supplement may help to prevent heart and oral birth defects, such as cleft lips and palates. Folate deficiency in mothers has also been linked to conditions such as anaemia and peripheral neuropathy.
Another study² showed that women who take folic acid supplements before falling pregnant conceive at a higher rate.
Each serving of Biogen Folate for Her provides 500mcg of MagnafolateTM, a patent-protected crystalline form of calcium salt (L-5-MTHF Ca) developed in 2012.
The stable structure of the C-crystal form leads to less compound impurities, higher efficiency due to better absorption and a longer shelf life.
