Boots Folic Acid 400µg

Boots Folic Acid is a dietary supplement designed specifically for use during conception and pregnancy, providing the recommended 400µg dose of Vitamin B9. The product is part of the extensive own-brand healthcare range offered by Boots, the UK's leading pharmacy-led health and beauty retailer.

Originally founded in 1849 by John Boot in Nottingham, the brand has a long-standing history of British manufacturing. These specific supplements are produced at the historic Boots site in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, which has been a hub for the company's pharmaceutical development and production since the late 1920s.

In terms of ownership, the brand has seen several transitions in the 21st century. Following a long period as a subsidiary of the US-based Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA), a significant shift occurred in late 2025. The US private equity firm Sycamore Partners completed a $10 billion acquisition of WBA and subsequently spun off the UK operations. As of 2026, the brand is owned by The Boots Group, a standalone private company headquartered in the United Kingdom, backed by Sycamore Partners.
