FAQs

What is Folic Acid 400μg and why is it important?

Folic acid is the synthetic and most stable form of Vitamin B9, an essential nutrient involved in healthy cell division and red blood cell formation. The 400μg dose is widely recommended for women trying to conceive and during early pregnancy because folic acid supports the development of the neural tube, which forms the baby’s brain and spinal cord. It also helps reduce tiredness, supports immune health, and contributes to healthy homocysteine regulation.

Why do pregnant women need folic acid?

During the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, the neural tube is forming — and sufficient folic acid greatly reduces the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Because many women don’t get enough folate from food alone, a daily 400μg folic acid supplement ensures the body has the nutrients needed for proper foetal development. This is why folic acid is one of the most important prenatal vitamins recommended by healthcare professionals.

When should I start taking Folic Acid 400μg?

You should begin taking folic acid before becoming pregnant — ideally while trying to conceive — as the neural tube develops in the very early stages of pregnancy, often before you know you’re expecting. UK government and NHS guidelines recommend taking 400μg daily from pre-conception up to the 12th week of pregnancy for optimal support.

How do I take this folic acid supplement?

Take one tablet daily with food to support proper absorption. Consistency is key — daily use ensures your levels remain optimal throughout conception and early pregnancy. Always follow the recommended dose and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.

Can I take this alongside other prenatal vitamins?

Yes, Folic Acid 400μg can safely be taken with most pregnancy and multivitamin supplements. Many prenatal formulas already contain folic acid, so check the label to avoid unintentionally exceeding recommended amounts. If you're unsure or taking prescription medication, consult your GP or midwife.

Is it safe to take folic acid every day?
Yes. A daily 400μg dose is the official government-recommended amount during pre-conception and early pregnancy. This level is considered safe, effective, and beneficial for supporting healthy foetal development. As with all supplements, do not exceed the stated dose and consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication.
