NOW Foods Folic Acid Folate 800mcg with Vitamin B-12 250 Tablets

NOW® Folic Acid provides a well-studied 800 mcg of folate paired with 25 mcg of vitamin B-12 in each tablet. Folic acid is an essential B-vitamin required for DNA synthesis and cell division, making an adequate supply especially important for rapidly dividing cells such as red blood cells. Folate and vitamin B-12 work as partners: together they support the healthy metabolism of homocysteine (an amino acid the body normally keeps in check) and the formation of healthy red blood cells, which is why NOW combines them in a single, affordable tablet.*

Cautions & interactions

As with any supplement, talk to your doctor before starting this product if you are pregnant or nursing, take prescription medication, or manage a health condition. Keep it out of reach of children, store it in a cool, dry place, and don't exceed the recommended serving. If you take a multivitamin or several supplements, review the combined amounts with your healthcare provider so you don't unintentionally double up on the same nutrient. B-vitamins are water-soluble and generally well tolerated; any excess is typically excreted rather than stored.
