When will AndreaFolin be applied?

Before pregnancy and during the first 3 months of pregnancy:
Folic acid is particularly important at the beginning of pregnancy. If there is too little folic acid in the body, the cells cannot divide. However, the foetus needs a lot of folic acid for rapid growth. Among other things, this affects the healthy development of the spine.
Studies¹ show that a folic acid deficiency increases the risk of the following:
• Spina bifida (neural tube defect)
• Cleft lip and palate
• Congenital heart defect
• Malformations of the urinary tract

When should you start taking folic acid?

In addition to a healthy diet, folic acid in tablet form (at least 400 micrograms) should be taken at least 4 weeks before conception (fertilisation of the egg). As the time of conception is uncertain, all women who want to or could become pregnant should take the tablets continuously. For pregnant women who did not take folic acid before conception, it is still advisable to take it as a preventive measure. Take the tablets before 28 days have passed since fertilisation. The reason for this is that the neural tube closes completely in the first 28 days after fertilisation.

What is included in AndreaFolin?

Folic acid (folate): Folate plays a role in cell division and contributes to the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy. During pregnancy, not only does the baby grow, but so does the mother's tissue:
• The uterus enlarges.
• The placenta forms and grows rapidly.
All these processes depend on rapid and error-free cell division and tissue proliferation. Folate is essential for this.

Vitamin B₆ and vitamin B₁₂: These vitamins contribute to the normal formation of red blood cells. Red blood cells are the most common cells in the blood and play a crucial role in transporting oxygen throughout the body. During pregnancy, it is important that the unborn child is supplied with sufficient oxygen.

How often is AndreaFolin used?

Take 1 tablet daily with lots of fluids.
