FAQs
Is folic acid for men too?
Yes! Folic acid is important for everyone for cell health and blood formation. For men specifically it plays a role in sperm health.
What's the difference between folic acid and folate?
Folate is the natural form found in food, and folic acid is the synthetic form in supplements. Your body converts both, but some people have difficulty converting and need active folate (methylfolate).
Is 800 mcg too much? International recommendations say 400?
400 mcg is the minimum preventive dose. 800 mcg is safer and more effective especially for pregnant women who need more compensation. Completely safe at this dose.
