FAQ

What is folic acid, and why is it important?
Swanson Folic Acid provides 800 mcg (1,360 mcg DFE) of folate per vegan capsule to support healthy cell growth, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell production. Folic acid is the supplemental form of vitamin B9 and is an essential nutrient for overall wellness. It also plays an important role in prenatal nutrition and healthy cellular function throughout life.
How does folic acid support heart health?
Folic acid helps support healthy homocysteine metabolism. Along with vitamins B6 and B12, it assists the body in converting homocysteine into other beneficial compounds, helping maintain homocysteine levels already within the normal range and supporting overall cardiovascular wellness as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Why is folic acid important before and during pregnancy?
Folic acid is an important nutrient for women of childbearing age because it supports healthy fetal neural tube development during early pregnancy. The U.S. Public Health Service recommends that women who can become pregnant consume 400 mcg of folic acid daily from fortified foods, supplements, or both as part of a healthful diet to help reduce the risk of neural tube birth defects. Swanson Folic Acid provides a convenient, high-potency source of this essential vitamin.
What is the difference between folic acid and folate?
Folate is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B9 found in foods such as leafy green vegetables, legumes, and citrus fruits. Folic acid is the supplemental form used in dietary supplements and fortified foods. After consumption, folic acid is converted by the body into active folate forms that support healthy cell division, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation.
Can I take Swanson Folic Acid every day?
Yes. Swanson Folic Acid is formulated for daily use. The suggested use is one vegan capsule daily with water, following the directions on the product label. Consistent supplementation helps support healthy folate status, cellular health, and overall nutritional wellness. As with any dietary supplement, consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Is Swanson Folic Acid suitable for special dietary needs?
Yes. Swanson Folic Acid is vegan, non-GMO, dairy free, and gluten free, making it an excellent choice for individuals with a variety of dietary preferences and restrictions. Each vegan capsule provides 1,360 mcg DFE without animal-derived ingredients, dairy, gluten, or genetically modified ingredients, helping support healthy cell growth, DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and overall nutritional wellness as part of a balanced lifestyle.
