KEY BENEFITS
ADVANCED* FOLIC ACID
When trying for a baby, it's important to ensure an adequate folate level before conception, as a low maternal folate level is one of the risk factors in the development of neural tube defects of your unborn baby.¹ The neural tube closes around the fourth week of pregnancy, when you might not know you're pregnant.
To help increase your folate levels, Seven Seas Trying for a Baby contains an advanced* form of Folic Acid called L-methylfolate. L-methylfolate is an active form of folate that your body can use straight away, without having to convert it first. This is especially important as some women may only partially convert folic acid to the active form.
