Ultra Folic Acid has been developed as convenient source of folic acid, carefully balanced with vitamin B12 in a small, easy to swallow tablet.
Folic acid, also known as folate or vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that is important for men and women of all ages for general wellbeing. Folic acid is especially important for pregnant women and women trying to conceive.
Yes, you will still need to take a supplement as fortification is only to improve the folic acid contribution from the normal diet. The government announced in September 2021 the good news that folic acid will be added to UK white flour in the future (the new rules will exclude gluten-free and wholemeal flour). This is to help increase the amount of folic acid in maternal diets, as low folic acid status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects (NTDs), such as spina bifida. This will, however, not replace the need for mums-to-be to take a folic acid supplement, as the UK Department of Health continues to recommend that all women trying to conceive until the 12th week of pregnancy should take a daily supplement containing 400µg folic acid.
Ultra Folic Acid contains 60 x Folic acid with vitamin B12 food supplement tablets per pack. It is recommended to take one tablet per day, so each pack lasts approximately two months.
One tablet per day is recommended, with or without a meal. Swallow with water or a cold drink, without chewing. Always ensure that Ultra Folic Acid is taken with liquid to wash the tablet down, and not tea or coffee, as hot liquids may cause the tablet to disintegrate too early.
Ultra Folic Acid has no known side-effects when taken as directed. Do not exceed the recommended dose. In case of overdose, seek medical advice.
The key nutrients included in our Ultra Folic Acid product are folic acid and vitamin B12.
Results vary amongst individuals, but in most cases the effects of Ultra Folic Acid are established over two to three months. There is no maximum length of time over which Ultra Folic Acid may be used. A regular intake is recommended.
For pregnant women and those trying to conceive, the beneficial effect of supplemental folic acid is obtained with a daily intake of 400µg folic acid, as found in Ultra Folic Acid, for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
Yes. Ultra Folic Acid is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
Difficulty in swallowing tablets is quite a common experience.
Vitabiotics have researched this extensively and recommend after chewing some food (e.g. banana), just before you swallow, pop the tablet into your mouth and swallow it together with the chewed food, followed by some liquid. The throat opens up wider to swallow the chewed food and so the tablet should go down with greater ease. Alternatively, the tablets may be swallowed with thicker liquids such as yoghurts or smoothies.
Certain vitamins are very safe at levels tens or even hundreds of times the NRV, whereas for others the safety level is much closer to the NRV. For this reason every vitamin and mineral needs to considered on an individual basis in terms of its upper safe level. The Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the NRV, have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. This is why some Vitabiotics formulas have certain nutrient levels greater than 100% NRV.
