BrainMax Methyl Folate 100 cps

Folic acid is best absorbed by the body in the active form of methylfolate.Methylfolate (5-MTHF) is the natural active form of folic acid, which enters the cells immediately, unlike the synthetic form of folic acid, which has yet to be converted to methylfolate in the body with the help of the enzyme methyltranshydrofolate reductase (MTHRF). However, according to studies, many individuals have a weakened or non-existent methylfolate enzyme and are unable to make active methylfolate from the folic acid they take in. And for this reason, we have come up with our own and best solution for the body. Moreover, without ballast substances. Quatrefolic® is a patented 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) glucosamine salt with the highest bioavailability.

The difference between folate and folic acid

Although there is a significant difference between the two, they are often confused. Vitamin B9 is an essential nutrient that occurs naturally as folate. Folate refers to the many forms of vitamin B-9. These include folic acid, dihydrofolate (DHF), 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), and others. Folate plays a key role in new cell growth and DNA formation. Its low levels tend to be associated with high homocysteine levels, birth defects in fetuses of pregnant women, and other diseases of civilization.

What is methyl folate?

Methyl folate or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is the active form of vitamin B9 that is best utilized by the body. In the digestive tract, most of the folate from food is converted to the bioavailable 5-MTHF before entering the bloodstream. Unlike folic acid, methyl folate is utilized by our bodies without loss or difficulty.

What is folic acid?

Unlike folate, not all the folic acid you consume is converted into the active form of vitamin B9 = 5-MTHF. Folic acid must be converted in the liver into the active form of methyl folate. This metabolic process, however, does not work in some individuals and therefore unmetabolized folic acid may remain in the bloodstream and cause health problems. The problem of folic acid metabolism is sometimes exacerbated by the addition of folic acid to foods such as bread, pasta or breakfast cereals. The best source of vitamin B9 is its active form methyl folate, as this is the most absorbable for our bodies.

Why is methyl folate or active folic acid important?

Active folic acidsupports the immune system, participates in cell division, contributes to normal mental function, and contributes to proper homocysteine metabolism. Supplementation of folic acid should be considered by women planning a pregnancy, people who consume excessive amounts of alcohol, smokers, people taking laxatives and diuretics, or people with liver disease.

Folic acid in pregnancy

Pregnant women in particular should ensure that they get enough folic acid because folate is involved in cellgrowth, cell division, synthesis, DNA repair and significantly reduces the risk of neural tube bifurcation, among other things. Increased folic acid intake should be started as early as three months before conception and then throughout pregnancy.

400 mcg of the active form of folic acid (methylfolate)

For folic acid supplementation to be truly effective, it must be in the active form. A form that our bodies can use immediately. This is because the inactive forms must first be converted or methylated by the liver to become active so the body can absorb and use them. Folate deficiency can manifest itself in weight loss, lack of appetite, physical weakness and fatigue, heart palpitations, headaches, irritability and frequent colds.
