Folic acid strips

Easy Daily Folate Support in a Slim Strip

Folate is one of the most important B vitamins, and it matters at every stage of life, especially around pregnancy. 7Mounts Folic Acid is a slim, easy-to-take strip that provides 570 µg of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active form of folate. Take 1 to 2 strips a day, with or without food.

What Is Folate and Why Does It Matter?

Folate, also called vitamin B9, helps your body make DNA and other genetic material, and it is needed for cells to divide and grow. Your body needs more folate during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and getting enough is one of the most important parts of a healthy pregnancy. Many people do not get enough folate from food alone, which is why supplements are widely used.

The Active Form of Folate

Folic acid is the form of folate used in many supplements and fortified foods. Your body has to convert it into its active form before it can use it. (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, also called 5-MTHF or methylfolate, is that active form. It is the form of folate found naturally in the body, and it is already ready to use. For some people with a common gene variant called MTHFR C677T, 5-MTHF may be easier to use than folic acid.

Important Safety Information

• Ask a doctor first if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, so they can confirm the right form and amount for you.
• Vitamin B12. Large amounts of folate can hide a vitamin B12 deficiency, which can cause nerve damage if it is not found. Tell your doctor if you have anaemia, tingling or numbness, or if you eat little B12.
• Medicines. Folate can interact with some medicines, including certain anti-seizure medicines, methotrexate and sulfasalazine. Check with your doctor if you take any regular medicines.
• Medical conditions. Ask a doctor first if you have kidney or liver problems.
• Not a treatment. This product is a supplement. It is not meant to diagnose, treat or cure any condition. If you feel unusually tired, look pale or feel low, see your doctor rather than self-treating.
