The Active Ingredient Is: Folic Acid

Folic acid is basically the synthetic form of folate, a B vitamin essential for normal DNA synthesis and cell division. This nutrient supports healthy fetal development and cardiovascular health through its role in one-carbon transfer reactions.

As the synthetic form, folic acid is formulated to provide a reliable source of folate for daily use, matching established dietary guidance and lab standards for supplemental intake.

What Does Folic Acid Do?

Folic acid helps support normal DNA synthesis and cell division and assists with normal homocysteine metabolism, which is relevant to cardiovascular health frameworks. These functions are recognised within EFSA guidance and NHS-derived nutritional science literature.

Science shows that folic acid contributes to these normal biological processes by donating methyl groups and via one-carbon transfer reactions, helping support healthy development and metabolic function.
