How I Fol Dha Softgel Capsule works

L-methylfolate is the active form of folate required for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation and helps reduce homocysteine levels. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid important for development and function of the fetal brain and retina. B-vitamins (B12/B6) support nerve function and homocysteine metabolism, while minerals/vitamins help meet increased nutritional demands.

Softgel capsule: take as directed by physician, commonly 1 capsule once daily after food with water; do not chew or crush. Continue for the duration advised (often throughout pregnancy/lactation).

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
