What Is Folic Acid?
Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is a water-soluble B vitamin that plays a vital role in DNA synthesis, cell division, and red blood cell formation. This essential nutrient is critical during periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy and fetal development. Bronson Folic Acid provides 800 mcg of synthetic folic acid (pteroylmonoglutamic acid) per mini tablet—a convenient and potent dose for those looking to support their overall health and wellbeing.*
Prenatal Development Support
Bronson Folic Acid is specially formulated to support healthy prenatal development. By supplying 800 mcg per mini tablet, it enables valuable daily replenishment that helps meet the increased folic acid needs during pregnancy.* Adequate folic acid intake before and during early pregnancy may help reduce the risk of neural tube defects.*
Recommended Dosage
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for folic acid varies by age and life stage. For most adults, the RDA is 400 mcg per day. During pregnancy, the recommendation increases to 600 mcg, and for breastfeeding women, 500 mcg. Many healthcare providers suggest a supplement of 400 to 800 mcg for women planning pregnancy. Bronson Folic Acid provides 800 mcg per tablet, making it easy to achieve these goals. The upper tolerable limit from supplements is 1,000 mcg per day, so this dose is well within safe boundaries for most individuals. Always follow the dosage instructions on the label.

Potential Side Effects and Precautions
Folic acid is generally well-tolerated, but high doses can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency, particularly in older adults. If you have a known B12 deficiency or pernicious anemia, consult your healthcare provider before taking folic acid supplements. The upper limit from supplements is 1,000 mcg per day; Bronson Folic Acid provides 800 mcg per tablet, which is below this threshold. As with any supplement, it is wise to discuss its use with your doctor, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication. Keep out of reach of children.
