Sona Folic Acid provides 400μg of this B vitamin which is necessary for maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, cell division and blood formation. Folic Acid is also important for homocysteine metabolism, normal psychological functions, normal amino acid synthesis, the immune system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is recommended that a supplement of 400µg of Folic Acid should be taken daily before and during pregnancy to help prevent neural tube defects (NTDs), such as spina bifida, in infants. A certain amount of Folic Acid will be sourced from the diet from foods including brussels sprouts, kale, spinach, beans and peas but it is very difficult to attain the recommendation of 400µg through diet alone. Also important for males, particularly those over 45 years of age, as Folic Acid contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
