Are you planning a pregnancy or do you notice that your body needs extra support for the production of healthy red blood cells? A deficiency of essential micronutrients can arise unnoticed due to reduced absorption in the intestines, specific lifestyle factors, or during periods of increased need such as when trying to conceive. This can lead to a less fit condition and reduced vitality. Teva Folic Acid 0.5 offers a targeted and reliable dosage to responsibly support your body in these important phases and effectively supplement deficiencies.

Key benefits

• Support for pregnancy wish: Contributes to the early development of the unborn child from four weeks before conception until eight weeks after the start of the pregnancy.
• Production of red blood cells: Folic acid is necessary for the formation of healthy red blood cells, which is essential for oxygen transport in the body.
• Targeted dosage: Contains an accurately dosed amount of 0.5 mg folic acid per tablet for a responsible daily supplement.
• Prevents deficiencies: Helps in the prevention and treatment of a folic acid deficiency caused by absorption problems or long-term medication use.

How it works

Folic acid, also known as vitamin B11, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in cell division and tissue growth in the body. Because the body cannot store large amounts of folic acid itself, a regular supply via food or targeted supplementation is necessary. Teva Folic Acid 0.5 provides a directly absorbable form of this vitamin to support red blood cell production and meet the increased physiological needs during early pregnancy.
