A B vitamin, called folate in food and folic acid in its supplemental form. The name comes from folium, Latin for leaf — the clue to where it is found.
Needed for normal cell division and for the formation of blood. It is critical before and during early pregnancy for normal fetal development.
Dark leafy greens, pulses, beetroot, citrus. Prolonged boiling destroys a large share of it.
Anyone planning a pregnancy should follow their doctor's advice on folic acid specifically. A general shake is not a substitute for prenatal supplementation.
KABO does not publish a milligram-by-milligram breakdown of every micronutrient, so this page describes what the ingredient is and what it is needed for rather than how much of it a serving contains. The full ingredient list is printed on every pack and set out at kabo.co.in/pages/ingredients. This is general nutrition information, not medical advice — if you are pregnant, managing a medical condition or taking medication, talk to your doctor before changing what you take.
