BePure Folate Restore is a high-quality blend of bio-available folinic acid and iodine to support women before conception, during pregnancy, and postpartum.
Folate provides healthy neural and fetal development for the baby and prevents folate deficiency and anemia for the mother. Folate is particularly crucial in the first few weeks of pregnancy, so if you’re planning on bringing a little one into the world, we recommend starting to prepare your body at least 3 months prior to conception to ensure your body is at its most prepared.
Designed to support
- Neural tube development and a healthy pregnancy
- Breast and thyroid health with the addition of iodine
- Healthy folate levels pre-, during and post pregnancy
- Foetal development
- Healthy red cell production
- Fatigue
Key ingredients
• Folinic acid + methylated folate
These forms of folate are essential for preventing folate deficiency and megaloblastic anemia, reducing the risk of neural tube defects in infants, lowering homocysteine levels and supporting cognitive function. They also help mitigate methotrexate toxicity and improve the response to antidepressants in individuals with low folate levels.
• Iodine
This mineral supports thyroid function, reduces the size of goiters, improves fibrocystic breast disease, and aids in the treatment of thyroid nodules. Iodine is also crucial for healthy brain development in babies.

FAQs
What’s the difference between folic acid and folinic acid?
- Folic acid is a synthetic form of Vitamin B9. It is often used as a food additive to fortified processed foods with added Vitamin B9. This form of Vitamin B9 is not made in the human body nor can it be found in natural food sources made by mother earth - this is why it is deemed synthetic. This is the form most commonly found in prenatal supplements. Folinic acid is an active form of Vitamin B9 that our body makes from the food we eat. This means that unlike folic acid, folinic acid is natural and does not require activation to be useful to the body like folic acid does. Folic acid and folinic acid are chemically very different forms of B9. As a synthetic ingredient, research shows that for some women, Folic acid is difficult to absorb and use due to their genetics and|or health status at the time of conception and leading into conception. For this reason, folinic acid is considered to be the better form of vitamin B9 for all women trying to concieve, regardless of genetics or health status. Folinic acid and methylated folate (found in BePure Mum’s One) both perform really well in human studies. These natural forms of Vitamin B9 have higher bioavailability, making them easier for our bodies to use than folic acid. This is why Folate Restore includes folinic acid instead of folic acid- an activated form of natural Vitamin B9.
