Product Description

This B-complex vitamin offers nutritional support for the cardiovascular system, healthy red blood cells and hemoglobin production, and for women who are pregnant or of childbearing age. This product helps regulate homocysteine levels.* As part of a well-balanced diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, Folic Acid, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 may reduce the risk of vascular disease. FDA evaluated the above claim and found that, while it is known that diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol reduce the risk of heart disease and other vascular diseases, the evidence in support of the above claim is inconclusive. 0.8 mg folic acid in a dietary supplement is more effective in reducing the risk of neural tube defects than a lower amount in foods in common form. FDA does not endorse this claim. Public health authorities recommend that women consume 0.4 mg folic acid daily from fortified foods or dietary supplements or both to reduce the risk of neural tube defects. This product contains 800mcg, or 200% DV, of Folic Acid per tablet.
