I-Folic by Blackmores has been specifically formulated to support the healthy development of unborn children, especially in the brain, aiding in the prevention of neural tube defects such as anencephaly and spina bifida.

Ensuring the health of our children is something we all hold in the utmost importance, during pregnancy, every mother worries that their child will not be in perfect health at birth, and while to a certain extent that risk will always exist, there are things that can be done to aid in the health of your unborn child.

Of course, the first and foremost factor when it comes to ensuring the health of the child growing inside you is ensuring the health of yourself. A healthy and balanced diet, and regular, sensible exercise can make sure you are at full health, and that helps your baby more than anything else.

This formula from Blackmores certainly hasn’t been developed as a replacement for these lifestyle choices and does not claim to be, instead this I-Folic formula is a supplement to these factors, ensuring adequate iodine levels in the body.

This is important as it has been suggested that iodine levels in pregnant women in Australia may be declining, and iodine is important in foetal development, especially brain development.

Combining iodine with folic acid, which plays an important role in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, is essential for the development and growth of unborn children, which can create a higher demand for folate on the mother’s body, and this I-Folic supplement from Blackmores is designed to satiate that increased demand.

The benefits of I-Folic by Blackmores include:

• Supports healthy foetal development
• Helps to support brain development in unborn children
• Helps to prevent neural tube defects such as anencephaly and spina bifida
