Folic acid with Extrafolate S from Gnosis and vitamin B12 - 800 µg folic acid and 25 µg vitamin B12 per daily dose (1 capsule) - 180 capsules - from Unimedica

Support for Mothers and Women Trying to Conceive

The vegan "Folic Acid with Extrafolate-S from Gnosis and Vitamin B12" capsules from Unimedica contain essential vitamins B9 (folate) and B12 (cobalamin) in high doses. Both vitamins offer additional support for women who are trying to conceive, are pregnant, or breastfeeding—during these special phases of life.

Folate (Vitamin B9) contributes to the production of amino acids (building blocks of proteins) for cell formation and the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy. Both folate and Vitamin B12 support the immune system, blood formation, and mental well-being, and help reduce fatigue and exhaustion. They play an important role in promoting a healthy pregnancy and alleviating common symptoms such as anemia, mood swings, and tiredness.

Premium Branded Ingredient – Also Suitable for MTHFR Mutation

Folate is the bioactive form of synthetic folic acid. Vitamins B9 and B12 work closely together in the metabolism. Vitamin B12 activates folic acid and complex folate compounds from food so they can perform their functions in the body.

Taking the bioactive form directly eliminates the need to convert dietary folate into its active form—allowing it to work immediately. Extrafolate-S from Gnosis provides this essential bioactive form, as it naturally occurs in human metabolism. It can be absorbed even by people with an MTHFR mutation, meaning their body lacks the MTHFR enzyme (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase), which is necessary to convert folic acid and dietary folate into active folate.

A Combination for Stable Folate Levels

The combination of folate and Vitamin B12 in our capsules ensures a sustained supply of folate to the body. Each daily dose (1 capsule) of Unimedica's "Folic Acid with Extrafolate-S from Gnosis and Vitamin B12" contains 800 µg of folate (Vitamin B9) and 25 µg of Vitamin B12, providing 400% of the recommended daily intake of folate and 1,000% of Vitamin B12.

Which Foods Contain Folate and Vitamin B12?

Folate is found in organ meats and eggs, as well as green vegetables—especially leafy greens like spinach and lettuce—tomatoes, legumes, nuts, oranges, sprouts, wheat germ, whole grains, and potatoes. Vitamin B12 is found almost exclusively in animal products such as organ meats, fatty fish, beef, shellfish, and dairy products. Only fermented plant-based foods like beer and sauerkraut, and some mushrooms like shiitake and algae like nori, may contain trace amounts of cobalamin.

Who Should Take These Folic Acid Capsules?

To meet the increased demand for folate and Vitamin B12 during pregnancy and breastfeeding, Unimedica's "Folic Acid with Extrafolate-S from Gnosis and Vitamin B12" capsules provide a simple and effective solution. They are especially beneficial for vegans and women with an MTHFR mutation. These capsules offer a sufficient daily dose of active folate and B12 from vegan sources.
