21st Century, Folic Acid, 800 mcg, 180 Easy to Swallow Tablets

Folate participates in one-carbon metabolism, nucleotide synthesis and methylation reactions. Folic acid is the stable supplemental form that is reduced and converted to metabolically active folate derivatives. Adequate folate is especially important during periods of rapid cell division, including early pregnancy, while total intake should account for fortified foods and other supplements. From a scientific-use perspective, the most useful way to assess this product is to place the labeled dose in context with normal dietary exposure, nutrient status and other supplements being taken. Absorption, metabolism and clinical relevance can vary among individuals, and more of a nutrient is not automatically better. For multi-ingredient products, the combination should be considered as a whole because ingredients may overlap with multivitamins, fortified foods or condition-specific formulas. Its role is best described as nutritional support consistent with the established physiology of its ingredients. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. People using prescription medicines, managing chronic conditions, preparing for procedures, or combining several supplements should review total intake and potential interactions with a qualified healthcare professional.

Adults take 1 tablet daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare provider. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.

Consult a healthcare provider before use if pregnant or nursing, taking medications, managing a medical condition, or planning a medical procedure. Stop use if an adverse reaction occurs. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is broken; store as directed on the label.
