Folic Acid helps prevent neural tube defects when taken prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy. Also, it supports cardiovascular health by reducing homocysteine levels.
Jamieson's Folic Acid is made into a "dry tablet compression" form, important in ensuring that the folic acid is never denatured by alternative processing techniques that require alcohol, chemical solvents and high temperatures. This is important because folic acid is a nutrient especially prone to reduction in potency under these adverse conditions.

Adults: Take one tablet daily with food.
