Fol-Mom
Healthy pregnancy and fetus
Active ingredient
Folic acid 400 µg
Fol-Mom is enriched with folic acid that contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, normal amino acid synthesis, normal blood formation, normal psychological function and normal function of the immune system , also by its role on neural tube formation
* Folic acid deficiency and the cases that need it
Folic acid deficiency can have many causes. Inadequate diet, some malabsorption symptoms (e.g. coeliac disease, tropical sprue), and hemolytic anemia’s can lead to manifestations of megaloblastic anemia’s. Several drugs cause folic acid deficiency, particularly phenytoin, possibly also other antiepileptic agents, and methotrexate. During pregnancy folic acid deficiency is particularly acute, so that regular folic acid supplements are recommended. In general it is desirable that women who wish to have children start taking a daily dose of at least 400 µg of folic acid even before pregnancy. It has now been safely established that this precaution significantly reduces the incidence of neural tube defects (cleft spine, myelomeningocele, anencephaly). Women who have given birth to a child with one of the above-mentioned anomalies should constantly take relatively high doses of folic acid in view of future pregnancies .
Sometimes the folic acid levels for some psychiatric diseases (especially for depressions) are strikingly low.
*Dosage and advantage
Single tab per day containing 400 µg which is the recommended daily dose for pregnant women.
