VitUp! Folic Acid 400 (30 film-coated tablets) is an essential dietary supplement, absolutely necessary for every woman planning a pregnancy, as well as pregnant women in the early stages of gestation and breastfeeding mothers. Folic acid (also known as vitamin B9) plays a crucial role in the creation and maintenance of new cells, which is of vital importance during the period of the fastest growth and development of the embryo.
What every future mother needs to know is the fact that the fetal neural tube (from which the brain, spinal cord, and skull bones later develop) forms and closes between the 17th and 30th day after conception! This happens at a time when most women do not even suspect they are pregnant. The body's stores of this vitamin are very small compared to the body's increased needs, so timely supplementation with folic acid (before conception and at the beginning of pregnancy) can reduce the risk of severe fetal defects, such as spina bifida, by an impressive 50% to 70%.
Main product benefits
- Reduces the risk of fetal neural tube defects (spina bifida) by 50-70%.
- Absolutely necessary before conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy.
- Helps in the proper formation of the fetus's brain, spinal cord, and skull bones.
- Participates in the process of cell division and ensures normal growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy.
- A small, practical film-coated tablet that is easy to swallow (suitable for morning sickness).
The recommended dose is 1 film-coated tablet daily. Given that the first weeks of pregnancy are the most critical for the development of the baby's nervous system, global health organizations advise starting folic acid supplementation at least 4 to 12 weeks before planned conception, and continuing daily throughout the first trimester (or longer, as advised by a gynecologist). Dietary supplements cannot be used as a substitute for a varied diet.

1. Can every pregnant woman take this dose of folic acid on her own?
Most women can, but there are very important exceptions! VitUp! Folic acid may only be used after a strict consultation with a doctor by: pregnant women who are on antiepileptic or methotrexate therapy, pregnant women suffering from celiac disease or diabetes, as well as second-time mothers who already have a child with spina bifida (they often need significantly higher therapeutic doses prescribed exclusively by a doctor).
2. Can I take folic acid if I am already taking prenatal multivitamins?
Most prenatal multivitamins already contain 400 µg of folic acid. In order not to exceed the recommended daily dose, check the composition of your multivitamins or consult a pharmacist before adding extra folic acid tablets.
