Benefits
Prioritize active folates
Active folates allow better assimilation by the body of vitamin B9 than folic acid. In each gummy: 500 µg of natural folate, from our lemon extract, in the form of methyl folate directly assimilated by the body (source: Delchier et al, 2016).
Folates play an essential role in cell division processes
Folic acid requirements increase during pregnancy. A folate deficiency can result in cell division disorders.
Folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time when cells are actively dividing. Vitamin B9 is involved, among other things, in the formation of the placenta, the fetus, the development of the uterus and breast tissue.
Folate helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects
Folic acid supplementation increases maternal folate status. Folate supplementation before conception can reduce the risk of neural tube defects (brain, spine and/or spinal cord) by up to 70% (source: De Regil et al, 2015).
Folate helps reduce the risk of miscarriage
Other benefits of folate supplementation during periconception may include decreased risk of pre-eclampsia, miscarriage, low birth weight, underweight, stillbirth, neonatal death, and autism. in children (source: Yuan He et al, 2016 / Hodgetts et al, 2015 / Yunfei Gao et al, 2016).
Fill up on folate for good ovulation
Supplementation with vitamin B9 has been associated with a better quality embryo, higher chances of getting pregnant, and a reduced risk of not ovulating (source: Chavarro et al, 2008).
Fill up on folate to boost your fertility
A clinical trial on women with fertility problems showed that for those who took 400 µg of folic acid for 3 months, 26% became pregnant compared to 10% for those who did not take it (source: Panth et al , 2018).
