The Solgar Folic Acid 800μg is a dietary supplement in tablets, with 800 μg of folic acid per tablet in the form of pteroylmonoglutamic acid, an amount corresponding to 400% of the Reference Dietary Intake. The package contains 100 tablets and the formula is suitable for vegans.
It is mainly aimed at women planning a pregnancy or already pregnant, as well as adults who want a steady daily intake of vitamin Β9 from a single tablet.
Folic acid is the synthetic, stable form of vitamin Β9. Inside the body, it is converted into active forms of folate that function as carriers of methylene groups. In simple terms, folate gives and takes small chemical pieces that are needed to build the bases of DNA and to recycle the amino acid homocysteine into methionine. This is why the functions it is involved in are all functions where the cell multiplies rapidly.
This explains why the needs increase in pregnancy, when maternal tissues grow, and why folate is linked to blood formation, that is, to the formation of blood cells in the bone marrow. The main dietary sources, green leafy vegetables, legumes and citrus fruits, provide folate in a form that is sensitive to cooking, which is why the supplement provides a predictable, stable amount every day.
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, Folacin 800 μg is a form of vitamin Β9 designed mainly to support the development of maternal tissues during pregnancy and is recommended for both pregnant women and women trying to conceive. The company states that one tablet contributes to the following:
The above statements are attributed to the producer. The approved statement for the psychological function is that folic acid contributes to normal psychological function, without reference to improvement.

It suits women during pregnancy, when the needs for vitamin Β9 are increased. It suits those following a diet poor in green leafy vegetables and legumes.
