Solgar Folate 1000mcg 60/120pcs
New! Folate (L-methylfolate, metaphone®) - 1000mcg NRV*500%
Folate, also called vitamin B9, is a nutrient that helps to produce and maintain new cells, and it’s especially important during cell division . Folate is not folic acid what is technically synthetic form of folate.
It is an important nutrient for women who are pregnant, or trying to conceive. Research on women suggests that folate deficiencies may lead to an abnormal number of chromosomes in cells.
According to research, there is substantial evidence to support the role of the micronutrient folate in the maintenance of normal sperm development and maturation.
The men with a high total folate intake experienced 18–30% lower frequencies of several types of sperm aneuploidy (abnormal number of chromosomes) compared to men with lower folate intake.
Women who don't get enough folic acid in their diet are at a higher risk of having a baby with a neural tube defect.
Other possible benefits of folic acid supplementation include:
A lower the risk of congenital heart defects.
A lower risk of preterm birth and a lower risk of low-birth-weight babies.
Increased progesterone levels and a lower risk of irregular ovulation.

Balance Activ Vaginal Gel
If you are trying to conceive the normal PH of vagina and health is very important.
Balance Activ Vaginal Gel (7 Single Use) Packs – Restores the pH Balance
Dual action Balance Activ™ Vaginal Gel contains lactic acid, which immediately neutralises the embarrassing odour by restoring the normal pH of the vagina. It also contains glycogen, which provides nutrients for lactic acid bacteria.
- Embarrassing Vaginal Odour?
- Abnormal Discharge?
- Discomfort?
The vagina is normally quite acidic (pH 3.8 – 4.5). Certain things can cause the acidity to be reduced (increasing the pH). This makes it hard for the healthy bacteria to survive, and encourages overgrowth of the unwanted bacteria. The main causes in younger women are:
- prolonged menstruation (your period)
- use of IntraUterine Devices (IUD’s, commonly known as the coil)
- frequent douching (washing out unwanted organisms along with the normal harmless bacteria)
- perfumed intimate products
- sex without a condom (semen has a higher pH level than the vagina)
Insert the whole of the neck of the tube into the vagina, and squeeze out the contents. The tube can then be removed and disposed of. For the rapid, effective relief of embarrassing odour, abnormal discharge and discomfort use 1 tube daily for 7 days.
To maintain the natural pH balance and prevent recurrence of symptoms: Use 1-2 tubes a week. To help maintain the pH level during a course of antibiotics: Use 1 tube daily at the end of the course for 4-5 days.
Drinking Water Test Strip for Hardness Alkalinity Chlorine pH
If you have lived in a variety of places, you know how different tap water quality can be. In some places it tastes clean and fresh while elsewhere it tastes rusty or heavy.
Although the Environmental Protection Agency sets standards for tap water (which it claims 90 percent of all local and municipal water systems meet) tap water testing may be in order if you have reason to believe your tap water is contaminated.
There are a number of symptoms that contaminated or otherwise low-quality tap water exhibits. This how-to will walk you through the steps of testing your water at home once you have determined that something is wrong with it.
Home water testing strips are designed to be very user-friendly and simple. These strips allow anyone to test the quality of their water for a variety of different things. Typically, the water test pads will change colour if something is present in the water. You should compare the strip to the colour chart that is included with the water testing strips to determine what the results are telling you.
The colour chart also indicates within the ranges the ‘ideal’ level your water should be.
The Water test strips check for:
- pH – range 2-10
- Total Alkalinity – range 0-240 ppm
- Total Chlorine – range 0-10 ppm
- Free Chlorine – range 0-10 ppm
- Total Hardness – range 0-500 ppm
This HEALTH MATE Water test strip contains everything you need to find out simply and accurately if your water contains unsafe or undesirable levels.
Drinking water which tests outside the desired values may be dangerous to your health.
The procedure must be followed exactly to achieve reliable results. Please refer to the label on the pouch before using the product and make it sure that the product is within the expiration date shown on the label.
1) Collect fresh water in a clean dry container.
2) Remove a strip out from the pouch.
3) Dip the test strip briefly (max. 1 second) into the water.
4) Lightly touch the edges of one side of the test strip on a clean absorbent paper to remove excess water.
5) Read the reacted reagent pad(s) carefully at 30~60seconds and match the results with the most identical colour to the colour chart included.
Gender Maker gender prediction test
Find out if you are having a Boy or a Girl as early as 6 week of your fetal development.
To perform the gender prediction test, please collect your first morning urine sample in a clean plastic cup and let it cool down for 2-3 minutes to reach room temperature. Use the dropper (included) to collect the right amount of urine from your cup and gently squeeze your collected urine sample into a sample window on your gender prediction test. Immediate chemical reaction will occur, and the control test window will display your gender prediction results in 15 seconds. The gender prediction test result is easy to read! The control test window will change the color to either pink (Girl) or blue (Boy).

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) pH Rapid Test Devices
-Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is diagnosed in approx. 15-20% of all pregnant women.
-With the help of regular self-testing of the vaginal pH level, pregnant women can decrease the risk of infection.
-Accuracy of over 98%
-Read the result immediately after removing the vaginal applicators
The PH Rapid BV Test Device is a reliable, hygienic, pain-free method of determining the vaginal pH level. As soon as the pH measurement zone on the device comes into contact with vaginal secretion, a colour change occurs that can be assigned to a value on the colour scale. This value is the test result.
Bacterial vagnosis increases the risk of:
Premature birth
Chorioamnionitis (amnionitis)
A premature rupturing of the fetal membrane
Fever when giving birth
Post-partum endometritis (an infection of the mucus membrane in the uterus after giving birth)
A bacterial infection of the foetus
With the help of regular BV tests, pregnant women can decrease the risk of infection. The measurement of the vaginal pH level is a fixed component of the program for avoiding premature birth.

Folate is not folic acid.
Low folate levels may be due to alcoholism, malnutrition, and long-term use of oral contraceptives. Diarrhea, shortness of breath, memory problems and mouth ulcers may occur.
Folate is not only important for women. This is important for the quality of a man's sperm and increases the chances of having a baby with a healthy genome.
Adequate folate administration before and immediately after pregnancy helps to prevent many malformations, such as neural tube defects (the most significant birth defect caused by folate deficiency). Neural tube defects cause malformations of the spine, skull and brain. The use of folic acid can reduce heart failure, congenital cleft lip, limb malformations and urinary tract abnormalities. Women are advised to eat folic acid-rich foods, take supplements and consume folate-rich foods when planning pregnancy and during pregnancy (especially during the first month). Folic acid also helps protect the fetus if the mother becomes ill during pregnancy, takes medication or smokes.
Folate also supports both cardiovascular & cognitive health. Helps maintain already-healthy homocysteine levels. Folate Promotes Heart and Brain Health. Folic acid is a common B-vitamin supplement. Folate helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range. Homocysteine levels are an important biomarker for both cardiovascular and cognitive health—so be proactive. Folate, homocysteine & cardiovascular health. Folate helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range. By helping to inhibit excess homocysteine, folate supports healthy levels of this important cardiovascular health biomarker. 5-MTHF, homocysteine & cognitive health. Since people with elevated homocysteine levels have a greater risk of cognitive decline, getting enough folate is especially crucial for aging individuals attempting to maintain cognitive health.
Take alone or with B12 for enhanced effect. The RDA for folate for non-pregnant or lactating adults is 400 mcg a day. This formula delivers 1,700 mcg of 5-MTHF folate. If you’re looking for a higher dose, try our High Potency Optimized Folate formula, which delivers 5,000 mcg of 5-MTHF. You can combine either formula with vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin, vitamin B6 in either the pyridoxal 5’-phosphate or pyridoxine hydrochloride form, and/or riboflavin.
