Femix Alpha — Bioactive Folic Acid for Trying to Conceive

Couple looking forward to starting a family

For more and more couples, pregnancy doesn't happen as quickly or easily as hoped. According to a study by the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB), around one-fifth of all women of reproductive age are affected by infertility. Risk factors include our changing lifestyles, rising stress levels and less healthy eating habits. Alongside reducing stress and other risk factors, adequate nutrient intake also plays an important role both during and before pregnancy.

Folic acid in particular is essential from the very first day of pregnancy for the baby's healthy development, which is why a folate-rich diet matters. Folate-rich foods include leafy green vegetables such as spinach, as well as legumes and whole-grain products.

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) also recommends an additional intake of 400 µg folic acid through dietary supplements. This supplementation should begin at least 4 weeks before conception and continue until the end of the first trimester, to help support healthy development. This B-vitamin contributes to cell division, blood formation and the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy.

Femix Alpha contains the bioactive folate (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (glucosamine salt), which is more readily available to the body. The product also contains vitamin D, which contributes to normal immune system function and cell division.

Femix Alpha is developed based on current nutritional science — for women trying to conceive and during pregnancy.
