Folic Acid

Active - Folic acid / Inactive - Sodium chloride, Benzyl alcohol, Sterile water

Folic acid is best known for preventing congenital neural tube defects during pregnancy. It supports cellular growth and repair by serving as a precursor to tetrahydrofolate - the biologically active form of folate. This molecule is important in DNA synthesis, RNA production, and amino acid metabolism. Folic acid plays a critical role in the formation of red blood cells and has been shown to support cardiovascular health.

Use of folic acid intravenous solution has been shown to improve: low folate levels and its effects / certain types of anemia / pregnancy-related folate demands / malabsorption issues

Folic acid benefits may include: increased folate levels / prevention of certain congenital defects during pregnancy / cardiovascular health support / improved energy levels / enhanced blood circulation
