About this product
Overview
Foliday 400mcg Tablet contains Quatrefolic, a specialized form of 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), which is the active, bioavailable form of folate (Vitamin B9) in the body. Folate is an essential nutrient involved in various physiological processes, including DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. Quatrefolic offers superior stability and absorption compared to traditional folic acid supplements, making it an optimal choice for individuals with folate deficiencies or those seeking to maintain overall health and wellness.
Uses
Foliday 400mcg Tablet is indicated for the following purposes:
- Folate Supplementation: It is used to supplement folate levels in individuals with dietary deficiencies or increased nutritional requirements. Folate is crucial for overall health, and adequate intake supports various bodily functions, including cell growth, metabolism, and nerve function.
- Prevention of Neural Tube Defects: Adequate folate intake, particularly during the periconceptional period, is essential for preventing neural tube defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly in newborns.
- Supporting Pregnancy: Folate plays a vital role in supporting healthy fetal development during pregnancy, including proper neural tube formation and overall growth and development.
- Cardiovascular Health: Folate is involved in homocysteine metabolism, and sufficient intake may help lower homocysteine levels, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Dosage
The recommended dosage of Foliday 400mcg Tablet may vary depending on individual needs and healthcare provider recommendations. It is typically taken orally with water, preferably with meals to enhance absorption.

Precautions
- Individuals with certain medical conditions such as epilepsy, untreated vitamin B12 deficiency, or undergoing chemotherapy should consult a healthcare professional before taking folate supplements.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women may require higher doses of folate to meet their increased nutritional needs. It is essential to follow healthcare provider recommendations regarding folate supplementation during pregnancy and lactation.
