Active Folic Better Absorption Folic Acid 60 Capsules

Description

400µg of Folic Acid is recommended one month prior to conception and for the first 12 weeks to increase maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects (NTD) in the developing foetus. Folic Acid is the most common form of folate supplement. However, increasing evidence suggests that reduced folate (methyl folate) is a better option. This is a result of the inability of up to 67% of the world’s population to be able to effectively convert Folic Acid from food or supplements into a form that is usable in the body. New Active Folic delivers x3 greater absorption than standard Folic Acid. Active Folic contains the patented Quatrefolic as a source of reduced folate, the nutritionally active form of folate required for optimum absorption. As well as providing folate in its natural form to support greater absorption, Active Folic passes the gastric barrier and is absorbed mainly in the small intestine. The carrier is not saturated, and this enables Active Folic to ensure a higher folate uptake. New Active Folic provides the nutritionally active form of folate required for optimum absorption.
