Folate is primarily involved in cell division and is required for the synthesis of nucleotides and red blood cells. Folate requirements increase during pregnancy as a result of the rise in cell division and metabolism necessary for healthy placental and fetal development.Unfortunately, approximately 20 percent of Canadian women of childbearing age do not meet the recommended amount of folate for pregnancy.Supplementation has been shown to be the most effective method for raising folate status, yielding superior results to dietary intake. Daily supplementation with 400 mcg of folic acid during the first trimester helps to decrease the development of NTD by approximately 50%; however, 800 mcg daily may help reduce the risk by nearly 70%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eINGREDIENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ingredients-list\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"title\"\u003eMedicinal Ingredients\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"medicinal\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eFolate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-amt\"\u003e1000 mcg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"title\"\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"non-medicinal\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eCellulose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eHypromellose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GENESTRA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42099415449646,"sku":"47203811","price":43.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4137\/9118\/files\/883196146307_c17a7f67-7fdb-4d4d-92aa-71d3bab6239f.jpg?v=1771908858","url":"https:\/\/goodhealthmarttoronto.com\/products\/47203811","provider":"Good Health Mart Belleville","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
