Hi.Just wondering what's the original color of these folate tablets..because mine seems a bit yellow and got a few red spots on some of them..

Hello, I've been took folate for almost a month, and I found this product contain 90pills per bottle but the suggestion said took only a month before conception. What make me a bit confused is do I have to finish one bottle or just I took it 30days only?

Hi, it said that the Folate could not to be taken with Blackmores Conceive Well Gold and Blackmores Pregnancy & Breast-Feeding Gold. I'm wondering does it only because it will exceed the stated dose of folic acid for taking both tow?

Hi! I wondering is there a halal certificate for this product? Thx

does it actually work though cause i have been trying to have a baby with my partner for over 4 years now and i have tried elevit but it didnt work and its not seeming like its going to happen any time soon but we reall want to have a baby atleast 1

Hi why can't you have this and the Blackmores folate? I'm currently taking just the folate but was wondering if there's anything I should be including in my preconception vitamins?

Dear Blackmores - like 30% of people I cannot absorb folic due to MTHFR SNPs genetic issues. Neither can my 2 kids. As a Blackmores' shareholder I am pretty disappointed that I need to order folinic and methylfolate from overseas suppliers. Is Blackmores working on this issue? It is a big issue as shown in scientific literature and clinical studies...

Do you have methylfolate or folinic acid? 1 out of 3 people are estimated to have genetic SNPs that prevent them from absorbing folic acid...the MTHFR mutation. I currently have to buy folinic and methylfolate from overseas. As a Blackmores shareholder and mother of 2 children also with this mutation I would really like to know when Blackmores will look into supplying this more bio-available form. Please?
