Sunward 5mg Folic Acid Tablet is considered to be safe for pregnant and lactating women.

Folic acid is a water-soluble synthetic vitamin that is found in supplements and fortified meals. A product, such as is a synthetic form of folate, B vitamin that occurs naturally in a variety of foods. Because the body cannot synthesise folate, it must be acquired through diet.

Fetal folate deficit leads to megaloblastic anaemia, higher risk of heart disease and cancer, and birth abnormalities in infants whose mothers were folate deficient. Both folic acid and folate are routinely used as supplements.

Although folic acid and folate are used to treat similar illnesses, their effects on the body are distinct.

1. Preventing birth abnormalities and problems during pregnancy

To prevent birth defects, folic acid and folate supplements are commonly used.

2. Treatment of folate insufficiency

Folate deficiency can be caused by poor diet, surgery, pregnancy, drunkenness, and malabsorptive disorders. Deficiency can cause megaloblastic anaemia, birth abnormalities, mental disability, immune system dysfunction, and depression. It is treated with folic acid and folate supplements

3. Reduce Inflammation. 

Inflammatory indicators such as C-reactive protein (CRP) have been proven to be reduced in populations such as PCOS women and children with epilepsy when they take folic acid or folate supplements

4. Reduced adverse effects of medicine.

In particular, methotrexate, an immunosuppressive medicine used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and cancer, may be reduced by taking folate-based supplements.
