ForMeds Bicaps Folate Folic Acid Folate 500 mg 60 vegan capsules

The dietary supplement Bicaps Folate from ForMeds contains up to 500 µg of highly absorbable and bioavailable folic acid in the form of folate. This is a reduced, active form of folic acid. This makes its bioavailability much higher than that of the regular form of folic acid.

Folic acid is essential for blood formation and is used, among other things, in the treatment of anemia. Folic acid must be taken by women before, during, and after pregnancy. Studies have shown that low plasma concentrations of folic acid in women can lead to slowed fetal development and an increased risk of congenital diseases in the unborn child.

Another important property of folic acid is its role in the metabolism of excess homocysteine. Low folic acid levels in the blood contribute to elevated folic acid concentrations.

Folic acid deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in modern humans. Adequate amounts are essential for the proper functioning of our bodies.

In summary, the ForMeds Bicaps Folate dietary supplement contains a high percentage of the most readily absorbable form of folic acid. Its appropriate concentration is essential for maintaining proper nervous and immune system function and for the breakdown of excess harmful homocysteine. It is especially important for the elderly and women during pregnancy.
