Folic Acid – Nervous, Immune and Cardiovascular System Health | Essential Support for Pregnancy, Cells and DNA – Natural Factors

Folic Acid, 1,000 mcg, by Natural Factors is an essential dietary supplement, formulated to provide 1,700 mcg DFE (Dietary Folate Equivalents) – equivalent to 1,000 mcg of active folic acid – in an easily absorbable form, alongside 27 mg of calcium (as dicalcium phosphate) for supporting absorption and bone health. Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9, and in the body it is converted to the active form – folate – a vital compound involved in cellular replication, DNA synthesis, homocysteine metabolism and nervous system development.

Vitamin B9 is an essential component of the methylation cycle, a fundamental biochemical process that influences gene expression, cardiovascular system health, cognitive function, detoxification and overall energy levels.

Folic acid deficiency is common, especially among pregnant women, elderly people or those following unbalanced diets. Folic Acid, Natural Factors, addresses these needs with an optimal dose, supporting fetal development, red blood cell formation, brain function and hormonal balance.

Detailed Benefits of Folic Acid – Natural Factors Folic Acid

• Supporting the nervous system and neuronal development

Vitamin B9 is essential for nervous system development and function. Especially during pregnancy, adequate folic acid intake prevents neural tube defects in the fetus, such as spina bifida and anencephaly. But the role of folic acid is not limited to the prenatal period – it continues to be indispensable for maintaining neurological health at any age.

Folate deficiency can affect:

• Neurotransmitter synthesis (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine)

• Myelin production – the protective sheath of nerves

• Concentration and memory capacity

Through folic acid supplementation:
✅ Optimal brain development during prenatal period is supported
✅ Risk of cognitive decline with aging is reduced
✅ Neurotransmitter balance is maintained – beneficial in mood disorders and anxiety
✅ Nerve cell regeneration and intercellular communication are supported

Folic Acid is thus a trusted ally for both expectant mothers and people concerned about their long-term mental and neurological health.

• Optimal cellular production and regeneration

Folate is directly involved in DNA synthesis and replication, making it essential for cell division and tissue regeneration. All rapidly dividing cells – such as those of the immune system, skin or mucous membranes – depend on an optimal level of vitamin B9.

Deficiency can cause:

• Insufficient red blood cell production (megaloblastic anemia)

• Slow wound healing

• Weakened immune system

Through Folic Acid supplementation:
✅ Blood cell formation and maturation is supported
✅ Regenerative processes of skin, tissues and organs are accelerated
✅ Healthy cell division is supported – with preventive potential against cellular abnormalities

This basic function makes folic acid an indispensable component for daily vitality and prevention of profound cellular imbalances.

• Regulation of homocysteine metabolism and cardiovascular protection

One of the most researched roles of folic acid is its ability to reduce homocysteine levels – an amino acid that, in excess, becomes toxic to blood vessels. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and thrombosis.

Folate intervenes in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine – a process also dependent on other cofactors (vitamins B6 and B12), but which cannot occur without B9.

Through its action:
✅ Homocysteine levels are reduced – protecting arteries from inflammation and damage
✅ Elasticity and function of blood vessels are supported
✅ Risk of blood clot formation is reduced

People with family history of heart disease, elderly people or smokers can especially benefit from folic acid supplementation as part of a vascular prevention strategy.

• Support in pregnancy and fertility

One of the most well-known indications of folic acid is related to supporting pregnancy and fertility. In the first weeks of pregnancy – often before pregnancy is discovered – folic acid plays a crucial role in forming the embryo's central nervous system.

Insufficient intake can lead to:

• Neural tube defects (spinal and brain malformations)

• Pregnancy loss or prenatal complications

• Fertility problems, including inefficient ovulation

Folic Acid by Natural Factors provides an ideal dose of 1,000 mcg – recommended by many international guidelines for women of childbearing age.

✅ Supports normal embryo development
✅ Reduces risk of congenital malformations
✅ Contributes to healthy fertility in both women and men
✅ Prepares the body for healthy pregnancy and harmonious fetal development

• Cellular detoxification and liver support

Methylation – an essential process in which folate is involved – plays a role in detoxifying toxic substances and excess hormones. This process occurs at hepatic level and is critical for cleansing the body of toxic products, heavy metals, surplus estrogens and other reactive compounds.

Deficient methylation (due to low folate levels) can lead to:

• Chronic fatigue

• Hormonal imbalances

• Increased risk of liver cancer

• Sensitivity to environmental toxins

Through folic acid intake:
✅ The body's ability to neutralize toxins is optimized
✅ Hepatic function is improved
✅ Hormonal balance is supported, especially in women

Folic Acid is thus not just a nutrient, but a key factor in profound cleansing and internal balancing processes.

• Skin, hair and nail health

Skin cells, hair follicles and nail matrix have a high rate of cell division and regeneration, making them profoundly dependent on folic acid.

A B9 deficiency can be associated with:

• Excessive hair loss

• Nail brittleness

• Pale, dull or spotted complexion

Through Folic Acid supplementation:
✅ Cellular regeneration at skin level is stimulated
✅ Oxygenation and nourishment of hair follicles is improved
✅ Keratin production is supported – structural protein for skin and nails

• Synergistic role of calcium in absorption and bone health

The product formula also includes 27 mg of calcium as dicalcium phosphate. Although in a moderate amount, calcium has a synergistic role, supporting optimal vitamin absorption and maintaining electrolyte balance. In combination with folic acid, it can support:
✅ Efficient nerve transmission
✅ Muscle contractility
✅ Maintaining bone density during growth and aging periods


Folic Acid 1,000 mcg by Natural Factors is thus much more than a simple vitamin B9 supplement – it is an essential complex for cellular regeneration, heart health, fertility, brain function and profound body detoxification. The support it provides at genetic, cellular and systemic levels makes it a strategic choice for anyone who desires vitality, mental clarity, cardiovascular protection and long-term health.
