How should the tablets be taken, and what should you look out for?

The product comes as tablets (pack of 50), which are easy to fit into your usual vitamin routine without complicated regimens. Always check the exact dosage, the number of tablets per day and the instructions for use on the packaging and in the manufacturer's leaflet, and go by those.

A few general practical points:

• It is usually convenient to take the tablets at the same time each day so that you do not forget, for example by linking them to breakfast.
• Take them with plenty of water.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
• Store the pack in a dry place out of the reach of children, under the conditions stated on the label.

Pay particular attention to doubling up: if you already take multivitamins or other complexes with folic acid, B6 or B12, your total intake of these vitamins may turn out to be higher than you planned. In that case, and also if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have chronic conditions or take medicines, check the total dosage with a specialist in advance.
