SISU Folic Acid 1mg, Important for Pregnancy, Red Blood Cells and Heart Health, 90 Tablets

SISU Folic Acid 1 mg Details

SISU Folic Acid provides 1 mg of folate, as folic acid, in one small, easy-to-swallow tablet a day. Taken daily for at least three months before pregnancy and during early pregnancy, folic acid helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects and supports the normal development of the baby's brain and spinal cord. It is also important for the production of normal red blood cells, immune function and heart health, and is necessary for reducing homocysteine levels. The label dose is for women 19 and older. Vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free, with no wheat or corn. 90 tablets. Made by SISU.

Quick Facts

Who SISU Folic Acid Is For

• Women planning a pregnancy — start at least three months before conceiving
• Women in early pregnancy
• Women taking birth control pills, which SISU notes increases the importance of folic acid
• People who want to support healthy homocysteine levels and heart health
• Anyone who wants a simple, single-nutrient folic acid supplement

Who this product is NOT for:

• Men, and women under 19 — the label dose is for women 19 and older; ask a health care practitioner first
• People who prefer an active methylfolate form
• Anyone with a suspected B12 deficiency who has not had it checked — folic acid can mask it

Vitamart's Take

Folic acid is one of the most important supplements for anyone planning a pregnancy, and SISU keeps it simple: 1 mg in a small vegan tablet, once a day. The neural tube forms very early — often before you know you're pregnant — which is why starting at least three months ahead matters. A 90-tablet bottle covers exactly that three-month runway. Since high folic acid intake can mask a B12 deficiency, we'd suggest pairing it with SISU's B12.

How SISU Folic Acid Compares

Folic acid alone vs. a prenatal multivitamin

SISU Multi Expecting is a full prenatal multivitamin for before, during and after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Folic acid on its own suits women who already take a multi or want a targeted dose.

Folic acid vs. methylfolate

Folic acid is the well-studied synthetic form of folate used in neural tube defect research. Some people prefer an active methylfolate form; you can find both in our folate collection.

What Is Folic Acid?

• Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, also called vitamin B9
• It is needed for the production of normal blood cells
• Together with vitamins B6 and B12, it helps reduce homocysteine levels
• The neural tube — which becomes the brain and spinal cord — develops in the first weeks of pregnancy
• It is water-soluble, so it needs to be replenished regularly

Recommended Purpose

• Helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily for at least three months before pregnancy and during early pregnancy
• Supports the normal development of the baby's brain and spinal cord
• Important for the production of normal blood cells and for immune system function
• A factor in heart health; necessary for reducing homocysteine levels

How To Use

• Women 19 years and older: take 1 tablet per day, or as directed by a health care practitioner
• For best absorption, take between meals
• If you take a prenatal or multivitamin that also contains folic acid, check your total intake with your health care practitioner
• Store in a cool, dry place
• Keep out of reach of children

Ingredients (per tablet)

Non-medicinal ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate (vegetable), croscarmellose sodium.
