What is folate?

Folate (vitamin B9) is a B-vitamin the body needs to make new cells. Health authorities advise women who are planning a pregnancy to take folate before and in early pregnancy, so ask your doctor or gynaecologist which product and amount is right for you.

Folic acid or L-methylfolate?

  • Folic acid: the man-made form of folate, which the body converts into an active form.
  • L-methylfolate: an active form of folate. Neurofol, Megafol and Ethix all use L-methylfolate.

  • 1000 mcg: Megafol.

  • Pregnant or planning? Your doctor will tell you which strength to take and for how long.
