More Information

The Department of Health (DoH) recommends that women who could become pregnant or who are already pregnant take Folic Acid daily at (400 micrograms) before conception and throughout the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. Also known as folate or vitamin B9, folic acid is extremely important for the development of a healthy foetus, because it can significantly reduce the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs).

A growing baby will take all the supplies it needs from its mother, often leaving her desperately short of vital nutrients. This is why BioCare FolGuard Capsules also contain the additional aforementioned vitamin, B12. Vitamin B12 is particularly important for pregnant women because it contributes to normal homocysteine & energy-yielding metabolism, red blood cell formation, to the normal functions of the immune & nervous systems, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
