Why choose our Folic Acid Gummies
The exact 400µg daily amount in a single vegan gummy, with the claims stated as they are actually approved.
One gummy provides 400µg, which is the daily amount named in UK guidance for women who could become pregnant. No counting, no splitting tablets.
Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, and to normal blood formation and normal amino acid synthesis.
Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal psychological function, and to the normal function of the immune system.
Set with pectin rather than gelatin, and coloured with anthocyanins and spirulina rather than artificial colours.
Why 400µg, and why that number specifically
400µg is not a round number someone picked for the label. It is the amount named in UK guidance for women who could become pregnant, and it is the threshold a supplement has to meet before it is allowed to carry the approved claim about maternal folate status and neural tube defects.
One gummy is 400µg, which is 200% of the general daily reference intake and exactly the daily portion that claim requires. Plenty of folate products sit below it, or ask you to take two servings to get there. The full approved wording, and the conditions that come with it, are in the first question below rather than paraphrased into something vaguer.
Chew it, do not swallow it whole. 400µg, which is the full daily amount.
Folate is water soluble and not stored in quantity, so consistency is the whole point.
120 gummies at one a day. Around 12p a day.
How our folic acid compares
Plenty of folate gummies are gelatin based, under 400µg, or need two gummies to reach the amount that matters.
| Our Folic Acid Gummies | Typical folate gummy | |
|---|---|---|
| Folic acid per serving | 400µg (200% NRV) | Often 200µg or less |
| Gummies per serving | One | Often two |
| Gelling agent | Pectin, so vegan | Usually gelatin |
| Colours | Anthocyanins and spirulina | Often artificial |
| Gummies per bottle | 120, a 4-month supply | 60 to 90 |
| Cost per day | £0.12 | Typically higher |
| Made in the UK | Varies |
When to take it
UK guidance is to begin before you conceive rather than once you know. That is the part most people are surprised by.
Guidance covers up to the twelfth week of pregnancy. One bottle comfortably spans that window and the run-up to it.
Folate contributes to normal blood formation, immune function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, for anyone.

Description
Folic Acid Gummies
If you want a simple, enjoyable way to support your daily folate intake, these natural berry-flavoured gummies deliver 400mcg of folic acid (vitamin B9) in a single chewable gummy. No tablets to swallow, no powders to mix. Just one gummy per day. With 120 gummies per bottle, a single purchase provides a full 4-month supply. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Why Folic Acid Matters
Folic acid is a form of vitamin B9, an essential nutrient that the body needs for several important processes. It contributes to normal blood formation, normal immune system function, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal amino acid synthesis, and maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Because the body does not store large amounts of folate long-term, consistent daily intake helps maintain healthy levels. At 400mcg per gummy, this provides a commonly recommended daily amount for adults looking to support their vitamin B9 status. The gummy format removes the friction of taking tablets, making it easy to stick with day after day.
What You Get in Every Gummy
- Folic Acid 400mcg (Vitamin B9, 200% NRV): Contributes to normal blood formation, normal immune system function, and reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Also supports maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
- Natural Berry Flavour: A pleasant taste with no artificial flavourings. Designed to make daily supplementation something you look forward to rather than a chore.
- Pectin-Based Gummy: Uses pectin as the gelling agent instead of gelatin, making these fully suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
120 gummies per bottle provides a 4-month supply at one gummy per day.

Frequently asked questions
What does folic acid do before and during pregnancy?
There is an approved claim for this, and it is worth quoting exactly rather than paraphrasing:
Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus.
The conditions attached to that claim matter as much as the claim itself. It applies to women of child-bearing age. The beneficial effect is obtained with a supplemental folic acid intake of 400µg a day for at least one month before conception and up to three months after. And neural tube defects have multiple risk factors, so altering one of them may or may not have a beneficial effect.
One gummy provides exactly the 400µg that claim requires.
Is this a complete prenatal vitamin?
No, and this is the most important thing on the page. This is folic acid on its own. It is not a multivitamin and it should not be treated as one.
UK guidance for pregnancy names two supplements: 400µg of folic acid, and 10µg of vitamin D daily. This product covers the first and not the second, so you will need a separate vitamin D. Our Vitamin D3 gummies are the same format if you want to keep it simple.
Speak to your midwife or GP about what else you need, particularly if you have been advised you need a higher folic acid dose, which is prescribed rather than bought.
When should I start, and when do I stop?
Guidance is to start before you conceive, ideally at least a month beforehand, and continue through the first twelve weeks of pregnancy.
Since roughly half of pregnancies are unplanned, the standard advice is that anyone who could become pregnant takes it, rather than starting once a test is positive. By the time you know, the window the claim relates to has largely passed.
Do I need a higher dose than 400µg?
Some people are advised to take 5mg a day rather than 400µg, which is more than twelve times this amount. That applies if you have diabetes, a raised BMI, coeliac disease, sickle cell, are on certain epilepsy medicines, or have had a previous pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect.
That higher dose is prescription only and is not something to arrange by taking extra gummies. Speak to your GP or midwife.
Can men take them, and is it only for pregnancy?
Yes, and no. Folate has a role in the process of cell division, and contributes to normal blood formation, normal homocysteine metabolism, normal psychological function, normal immune function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Those apply to everyone.
The pregnancy claim is the best known one, but it is not the only reason to take folate.
Folic acid or methylfolate?
Folic acid is the synthetic form used in fortification and in the research the official guidance is built on. It is what the 400µg recommendation refers to, which is why this product uses it.
If you specifically want the methylated form, our Methyl Folate 5-MTHF is a capsule at 600µg. If you are choosing on the basis of the pregnancy guidance, folic acid at 400µg is the form and the amount that guidance names.
Do they contain sugar?
Yes. Sugar and glucose syrup are the first two ingredients, which is what makes a gummy a gummy.
There are no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners. The colour comes from anthocyanins and spirulina, and the flavour is a natural berry.
Are they suitable for vegans?
Yes. These are set with pectin rather than gelatin, so unlike most gummies on the shelf they contain nothing animal derived. They are also made without gluten.
How long does a bottle last, and how should I store it?
120 gummies at one a day is a full four months, which works out at around 12p a day.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Gummies are more heat sensitive than tablets, so avoid a sunny windowsill.
