Clonfolic Folic Acid 0.4mg 28 pack is a one a day folic acid tablet. Studies have shown folic acid helps prevent Spina Bifida and other neural tube defects. This product should be taken at least 14 weeks before becoming pregnant and should be taken for at least the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
It contains folic acid which belongs to a group of vitamins called ‘B vitamins’. It is essential for good health. Folic acid is required for the manufacture of nucleic acids-the genetic material of cells. It is vital for the development and proper function of the central nervous system.Clonfolic is indicated for the prevention of first time neural tube defects (including Spina Bifida) in the foetus. The neural tube is part of the nervous system and is located within the spine. Neural tube defects cause stillbirth, neonatal death and severe disabilities such as Spina Bifida. It is also recommended for use by all females who are capable of conceiving, whether planning to do so or not. Folic acid is a member of the Vitamin B group. It is required for the manufacture of nucleic acid - such as DNA – the genetic material of cells.
Studies have shown that over 70% of first time neural tube defects such as Spina Bifida can be prevented by taking folic acid (0.4mg) daily. Spina Bifida is a birth defect of the back bone and sometimes, much more importantly, the spinal cord. It is one of a group of birth defects, called neural tube defects, that affect the spine and brain. The neural tube is the embryonic structure that develops into the brain and spine. Every unborn infant’s spine is open when it first forms, but it normally closes by the 29th day following conception. In Spina Bifida, the backbone never closes completely, leading to varying degrees of malformation, leg paralyses, bladder and bowel control problems.
