Product Name & Strength: Nature's Field Folite Folic Acid 400mcg + Vitamin B6 & B12, 100 Tablets.
Indications (Approved Uses): Dietary supplementation universally indicated for the prevention and treatment of folate, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 deficiencies. It is heavily utilised by women of childbearing age and during early pregnancy to prevent foetal neural tube defects. Furthermore, the synergistic B-vitamin complex aids in the reduction of elevated plasma homocysteine levels, thereby supporting cardiovascular health and cognitive function, and assists in normal red blood cell formation to prevent megaloblastic anaemia.
Contraindications (Safety Warnings): Hypersensitivity to folic acid, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin/methylcobalamin), or any excipients in the tablet. It should be used with extreme caution in patients receiving levodopa therapy (without a concurrent peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor), as vitamin B6 can significantly reduce levodopa's efficacy. While this specific formulation contains vitamin B12, high continuous doses of folic acid can theoretically mask the haematological signs of an underlying, severe vitamin B12 deficiency (pernicious anaemia) while allowing irreversible neurological damage to progress if intrinsic B12 absorption is severely compromised.
Side Effects (Adverse Reactions): Generally well-tolerated at standard supplemental doses. Occasional mild adverse reactions include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, abdominal distension, flatulence, and altered taste. Very rarely, hypersensitivity reactions such as erythema, pruritus, or urticaria may occur.
Active / Nutritional Information: The formulation contains a targeted nutritional blend consisting of Folic Acid at a strength of 400 mcg, combined with Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12, formulated as a daily dietary supplement without artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives.
Instructions for Use / Dosage: For oral administration. Adults, particularly women in their childbearing years, are typically advised to take one tablet daily as a dietary supplement. Always consult the physical package labelling for exact manufacturer dosage guidelines or follow the direct advice of a healthcare professional.
