FAQs
Why does the Department of Health recommend supplementing Folate and Vitamin D?
The UK Department of Health recommend supplementing folic acid to reduce risks of problems in the baby’s development in the early weeks of pregnancy. Folic acid can prevent birth defects known as neural tube defects including spina bifida.
Vitamin D regulates the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, which are needed to keep bones, teeth, and muscles healthy. The Department of Health recommend that all people consider taking 10 micrograms of Vitamin D between September and March when we are not exposed to summer sunlight which makes vitamin D. Vitamin D is only found in a small number of foods, so it is difficult to get enough from your diet.
What is the difference between synthetic Folic acid and Folate?
Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9, while folic acid is synthetic (man-made). Natural folate is more bioavailable than synthetic folic acid. This is especially important for the 20-60% of the population who have a variation in one of their MRHFR genes which impacts their ability to convert folic acid (the synthetic version of B9) into the active form of folate, meaning that folic acid cannot be absorbed and utilised by the body.
Our supplements contain folate in the form of L-Methylfolate, which is the purest and most active form of folate, making it immediately absorbable by the body. Folic acid is the synthetic, inactive, form of folate and many people struggle or are unable to metabolise it. The ‘folic acid’ in Pre-Conception + Pregnancy Women is natural folate, as Calcium L-Methylfolate, from nutrient enhanced buckwheat.
Can Pre-Conception & Pregnancy Women be used alongside medication?
As a general rule, Pre-Conception & Pregnancy Women can be taken alongside medications because it contains only moderate levels of vitamins and minerals. However, if you are already taking prescribed supplements or medications, seek advice from your doctor, midwife, or health professional first.
Can pre-conception men be used alongside medication?
As a general rule, Pre-Conception Men can be taken alongside medications because it contains only moderate levels of vitamins and minerals. However, if you are already taking prescribed supplements or medications, seek advice from your doctor, midwife or health professional first
