Thus, the product provides folate ready to be used by the body, without depending on conversion from folic acid. In addition, the tablet format makes daily intake easier.

What it is used for

Folate is involved in essential functions of the body. In particular, it contributes to normal blood formation and to normal homocysteine metabolism. In addition, it supports normal amino acid synthesis and the process of cell division. Likewise, it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to psychological function. Therefore, it may be relevant during periods of increased nutritional need, such as preconception and pregnancy, always with professional advice.

On the other hand, some people have genetic variations associated with the MTHFR enzyme. Therefore, they may prefer folate already in its active form, such as 5-MTHF.
