Vitakruid Active Folic Acid Quatrefolic 5-MTHF 400 mcgActive Folic Acid 400 mcg from Vitakruid
We mainly find Vitamin B11 - as we also call folic acid - in green vegetables. Spinach, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli are the richest sources, but eggs, whole grain bread, and various types of meat also contain significant amounts of folic acid.
Our Active Folic Acid contains 400 mcg Quatrefolic®, the best-absorbed folic acid available worldwide. An extremely accessible dosage for those who want to become pregnant or are already pregnant!
Folate is the biologically active form of folic acid
Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B11. Folate is the so-called biologically available or active form of folic acid and is therefore much better absorbed. Before our body can absorb folic acid, it must undergo two conversion processes. First from folic acid to dihydrofolate (DHF), then to tetrahydrofolate (THF) before it becomes folate (5-MTHF). When you take folate in a supplement, it is therefore immediately available for our body and thus much more effective!
Quatrefolic®, the fourth generation of folate
Quatrefolic®, also known as the fourth generation folate, has superior bioavailability compared to other forms of folate. Vitakruid guarantees stability through the binding with glucosamine salt instead of the binding to calcium salt (the third generation of folate). The coupling with glucosamine salt makes the nutrient more stable in the stomach and intestinal tract, resulting in better absorption of folate (5-MTHF).
Because Quatrefolic® is the already converted form of 5-MTHF bound to calcium salt, the body does not need any further co-nutrients to experience the effect of folic acid. The number one folate form worldwide!
User-friendly due to small tablet
The Active Folic Acid tablets are extremely small. We're talking about an average diameter of just nine millimeters, an average weight of 160 milligrams, and a thickness of around three millimeters. Even swallowing multiple tablets at once should pose no problem!
- Folate contributes to: extra energy in case of fatigue, brain and nerve functions involved in learning ability, the production of cells and tissues, the formation of red and white blood cells, and normal amino acid synthesis.
- Folate has a positive effect on the immune system
- Folic acid supplementation increases the folate status of the mother. A low folate status of the mother is a risk factor for the development of spina bifida in the developing fetus. The beneficial effect is achieved with an additional folic acid intake of 400 mcg per day for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
