Folate‚ which is called folic acid in its synthetic form‚ is an important nutrient for your body. If you’re pregnant‚ your doctor will probably recommend a folate supplement for the prevention of brain and spinal cord defects in your developing baby. However‚ folate offers benefits even if you aren’t pregnant; these include reducing the level of a compound called homocysteine in your blood. (High levels of homocysteine have been associated with serious medical conditions.)

Folate‚ which is the naturally occurring form of this B vitamin‚ is found in a variety of foods‚ including leafy green vegetables and fruits. Many breads and cereals are fortified with folic acid as well. However‚ in some cases—like pregnancy or a heightened health risk—you may decide to take a supplement in order to increase your intake. Additional factors like smoking‚ some medications‚ and certain medical conditions may also impair your body’s absorption of folic acid from food.

Designs for Health’s Super Liquid Folate can help you get the folate you need. Each dose of this liquid supplement provides 400 mcg of the vitamin. Furthermore‚ it also contains vitamin B12‚ an important nutrient known to support the nervous system and promote the blood cells.

If you take the recommended dosage of one drop of Super Liquid Folate by Designs for Health‚ a one-ounce bottle contains a whopping 660 servings.
