Key Benefits for Pregnancy Health and General Wellness

Folate plays a critical role during pregnancy. Adequate folate intake contributes to normal maternal tissue growth and normal neural tube development in the unborn child. Beyond pregnancy, folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, which is important for cardiovascular health. It also supports the normal function of the immune system and helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue. These benefits are recognized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). Individual results may vary.

What Is Garden Folate?

Garden Folate is a whole-food source of vitamin B9 (folate) extracted from lemon peel. Unlike synthetic folic acid found in many supplements, this natural form is already in a state that your body can readily undertake. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and the formation of red blood cells. By choosing a whole-food source, you are getting folate as nature intended, complete with accompanying cofactors that support proper utilisation.

Why Choose Folate Over Synthetic Folic Acid?

Many people carry common genetic variants in the MTHFR gene that impair the conversion of synthetic folic acid into its active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). This can lead to unmet needs even when taking standard prenatal vitamins. Garden Folate provides naturally occurring folates in a reduced form that bypasses the MTHFR conversion step, making it a superior choice for individuals with methylation challenges.

How to Undertake and Recommended Dosage

Take one capsule daily with food, or as directed by your health care professional. Each bottle contains 60 capsules, providing a two-month supply. Typical supplementary folate doses range from 400 to 800 micrograms for adults, especially during pregnancy. Consult your health care provider to determine the right dosage for your needs.
