When should you take Nutri&Co Folic Acid?
Are you planning a pregnancy or looking to boost your vitamin B9 intake? Nutri&Co Folic Acid provides 400 µg of vitamin B9 per capsule, in the form of Quatrefolic®. This dietary supplement, intended for adults only, features a targeted formula with just one capsule to take each day. Before and during pregnancy, its use must be approved by a doctor.
Its unique feature is 5-MTHF, an active form of folate. Conventional folic acid must undergo several conversions to become 5-MTHF. The Quatrefolic® formula provides this form directly, so it does not require these conversion steps. This formulation choice makes it easy to supplement dietary intake of vitamin B9.
Folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy and plays a role in the process of cell division. These functions explain the importance of vitamin B9 during this specific period. As soon as you begin planning to conceive, consulting with your doctor or midwife will help determine the appropriate supplementation for your individual situation.
Vitamin B9 also offers benefits beyond pregnancy. It helps reduce fatigue, supports normal blood formation, and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. It also supports normal psychological functions, normal amino acid synthesis, and normal homocysteine metabolism.
With 120 vegetarian capsules, this package provides a 120-day supply at the recommended dose—approximately four months. If you’re looking for a formula that combines several nutrients designed for pregnancy, we also offer Inebios Serenatal G Pregnancy (30 tablets + 30 capsules). This product also contains vitamin B9: consult a healthcare professional before taking them together to avoid excessive intake.
How should you take this vitamin B9 supplement?
- For adults, take 1 capsule daily with a large glass of water, preferably with a meal.
- For pregnant or breastfeeding women, the recommended dose is also 1 capsule per day, but only after consulting a healthcare professional. The duration of use depends on individual needs and the healthcare professional’s guidance.
If you are planning a pregnancy, consult a healthcare professional before conception to plan your vitamin B9 supplementation. Your doctor or midwife will determine the appropriate form, dose, and duration. Do not replace a prescribed supplement with this product on your own initiative.

Our Expert Advice on Nutri&Co Folic Acid
Are you planning a pregnancy? We recommend discussing vitamin B9 as early as your preconception consultation, without waiting for a positive pregnancy test. Your healthcare provider can review your dietary intake, current medications, and any supplements you’re already taking. In your daily diet, green vegetables and legumes contribute to your dietary folate intake: vary your meals while following the recommended supplementation regimen. It’s especially important to inform your pharmacist if you’re already taking a prenatal formula containing B9 before adding this product.

Adults can use this supplement to boost their vitamin B9 intake. Its benefits depend on individual needs; persistent fatigue requires medical advice to determine the cause.
