An easy way to boost your diet with folate
Folic Acid 800µg from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement based on folic acid.
Made in vegetable capsules, it provides vitamin B9 as pteroylmonoglutamic acid. The idea is simple: offer a high dose of folate in a convenient, straightforward format that’s easy to add to your daily routine. When you’re after a specific product, without blends or animal-derived ingredients, you’re looking for a folic acid formula all on its own.
It’s a practical option for those wanting to complement their diet with folate, whether due to specific needs, phases of higher nutritional interest, or simply because they prefer clean label formulas that fit easily into their routine.
Just one vitamin, a vegan-friendly format, and a super easy way to add folate to your diet.
What exactly does the product provide
800µg of folic acid per vegetable capsule
Each vegetable capsule delivers 800µg of pure folic acid. This lets you get a high dose of folate in a very simple serving, without needing more complex formulas when what you want is exactly that: folic acid, no unnecessary extras.
Pteroylmonoglutamic acid: the standard form of folate
Folic acid is the form commonly used in supplements to provide vitamin B9. It’s a clear way to know exactly what you’re taking and how much each capsule gives you.
Vegetable capsules made with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose
The capsule is made with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a non-animal material we use as an alternative to gelatin. Thanks to this, our formula is compatible with vegan and vegetarian diets, something especially appreciated by those looking for supplements that fit these lifestyles.
A formula designed for everyday use
Some products make sense because of their complexity addressing all the factors of a specific goal, and others for the exact opposite. Our folic acid belongs to the second group: a simple, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-integrate formula, perfect for those who value practicality and prefer to complement their diet with a single, well-defined nutrient.
Why folate is such an interesting vitamin
It’s involved in basic metabolic functions
Folates contribute to the normal metabolism of homocysteine and the normal synthesis of amino acids, two functions that show just how much vitamin B9 is involved in fundamental body processes. It’s not a vitamin with marginal effects, but an essential nutrient for the proper functioning of various metabolic aspects.
It’s also involved in energy, psychological function, and immunity
Folate supports normal psychological function, helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. That’s why maintaining a good intake of this vitamin is important as part of a complete and well-planned diet.
Folate’s role isn’t limited to just one function: it’s part of a wide network of processes that affect the body’s overall balance.
Folates also contribute to the normal formation of blood cells and the process of cell division.
Special attention for women of childbearing age and during pregnancy
A key nutrient before conception
The importance of folic acid is especially well known for women of childbearing age. Supplementing with folate increases maternal folate status, and higher maternal folate status helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects. The beneficial effect is achieved by daily intake of 400µg of folic acid, at least one month before conception and up to three months after conception.
That’s why having a vegetable capsule providing 800µg of folic acid is a super convenient way to include this vitamin in your routine when you want a simple, specific option.
During pregnancy, folate remains important
Folates contribute to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy. This is one reason why this vitamin continues to be highly valued during this stage: because it supports a time when the mother’s body undergoes intense changes and needs special nutritional care related to this vitamin.
A simple formula, in a vegetable capsule and easy to take, is ideal when the goal is to keep your routine hassle-free.
Why choose a folic acid formula without blends
Because sometimes less is exactly what you need
Not everyone wants a product combining different nutrients. Often, the most useful choice is a specific supplement, with an easy-to-understand composition focused on a single nutritional goal. That’s exactly the value of a formula like this.
Because it fits well with other supplementation routines
By not including complex blends, it’s easy to combine with other supplements when you already have a set routine or want to build one more personally. It’s a practical way to add folate without doubling up on other ingredients you might already be taking with other products.
Good combos with folic acid
Vitamin B12
The combo with vitamin B12 is one of the most common. Both vitamins play key roles in metabolic pathways related to carbon metabolism and often come as a duo in B-complex formulas.
B vitamin complex
If you prefer a broader approach, you can consider a B vitamin complex. It’s a great alternative when, besides folate, you want to boost the presence of other B vitamins in your nutritional routine.
Omega-3 or choline during planning phases
In contexts like pregnancy planning or general dietary care during specific stages, it might also be recommended to pair it with products like omega-3 or choline. Check with your doctor to better understand your special nutritional needs at this stage.
