During special life stages, such as an active desire to have children or early pregnancy, your body needs targeted and reliable support. Inadequate intake of essential nutrients can affect the natural processes in your body and put your energy levels under pressure. Teva Folic Acid 0.5 mg (Vitamin B11) offers a responsible and precisely dosed supplement to optimally prepare and support your body when it is needed most.

Key benefits

• Crucial for pregnancy planning: Helps reduce the chance of the development of a neural tube defect (such as spina bifida) in the unborn child when taken from at least 4 weeks before conception until 8 weeks after the start of pregnancy.
• Supports blood cell production: Folic acid is necessary for the normal development and formation of healthy red blood cells in the body.
• Targeted dosage: Each tablet contains a precise amount of 0.5 mg folic acid, ideal as a daily maintenance dose or for the prevention of a deficiency.
• Wide applicability: Suitable for preventing deficiencies that can arise from absorption disorders in the intestine, chronic alcohol use, or long-term medication use.

How it works

Folic acid, also known as vitamin B11, is a crucial cofactor in the synthesis of DNA and RNA and plays a key role in cell division and tissue growth. Because the body cannot produce folic acid itself and storage capacity is limited, a constant supply via food or supplements is essential. Teva Folic Acid directly provides the body with the necessary active building blocks to efficiently support cell development and the production of red blood cells.
