A folic acid supplement is recommended as it reduces the risk of neural tube defects throughout preconception & pregnancy. We recommend folate, which is more readily absorbed and utilised by the body. Our folate is Quatrefolic, which is an active and natural form that ensures greater absorption. Because folate is more easily used by the body and doesn't require the same conversion process as folic acid, it is often recommended as the preferred option, particularly for those who have difficulty converting folic acid into its active form.
