Folate (B9) Quatrefolic® Swanson - 30Vcaps

Composition

The terms 'folate' and 'folic acid', also known as vitamin B9, are often used interchangeably to indicate a group of water-soluble B vitamins.

In fact, there are differences in the forms:

The term Folic Acid belongs to the 2nd generation which appeared in 1941, Folic acid n has no coenzyme activity and must be reduced to the metabolically active form inside the cell, through a series of biochemical steps before it can be used by the body's cells in vital metabolic pathways such as DNA production, cell reproduction and homocysteine ​​metabolism.

Quatrefolic^® represents the fourth generation folate with long-lasting stability and particularly high water solubility , improved bioavailability and well-established safety. This makes it a much more easily absorbed form by the human body.

The inability of some of the world's population to assimilate and metabolize folic acid from food or supplements may endanger their health and increase the risk of health problems. The biologically active form 5-methylfolate, such as Quatrefolic^®, is widely recommended as it effectively normalizes the folate status of everyone who consumes it.

Another advantage is that Quatrefolic^® passes the gastric barrier and is absorbed primarily in the small intestine by a carrier-mediated mechanism. The transporter is not saturated, allowing Quatrefolic^® to ensure higher absorption of folate

Folate deficiency is l one of the most common vitamin deficiencies and the consumption of folate-rich foods may not provide the recommended daily dose, hence the need for supplementation.

Quatrefolic^® is the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and is structurally analogous to the reduced, active form of the acid folic.

Developed by Gnosis S. p A, it represents the fourth generation folate offering greater stability, greater water solubility and multi-ingredient formulation flexibility compared to the calcium salt 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate ensuring improved bioavailability.

"Quatrefolic^® has been rigorously tested for security and consistency. It is manufactured under strict quality control procedures allowing Gnosis to promote the product for application in a variety of conventional foods, beverages and supplements. "

Folate and Pregnancy:

Folate demand increases when human cell growth is very active, such as during pregnancy. Studies have found that low dietary folate intake increases the risk of delivering a child with several types of birth defects, especially neural tube defects (NTDs), and can lead to poor fetal or newborn growth. placenta.

The periconceptional and first period after conception are particularly important for folate supplementation, especially because a woman often does not know she is pregnant.

It is recommended that for all women, folate levels be elevated for at least one month before possible conception and continue at this level for the first three months of pregnancy.

It is one of the essential supplements during the periconceptional period and the first period of pregnancy!
