Vitamin B9: Folate (Folic Acid)
Folate (vitamin B9) is involved in a number of important bodily functions, such as fulfiling numerous important tasks in cell metabolism, contributing to a functioning energy metabolism, reducing fatigue and tiredness and supporting the immune system and mental functions. It is also required for haematopoiesis, cell division, homocysteine metabolism, the formation of amino acids, the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy and all cell division processes.
L-Methylfolate in Folate Complex Ultra
The biologically active form of folate is called L-methylfolate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate or L-5-MTHF). L-methylfolate is an important methyl donor and an essential component of the methylation cycle.
The two L-methylfolate premium active ingredients (Magnafolate® Pro and Quatrefolic®) combined with the natural active folate forms from organic lemon peel provide the full range of all natural active ingredients. Magnafolate® Pro and Quatrefolic® are each metabolised in slightly different ways; the form that is better absorbed varies from person to person. The high-quality components of our Folate Complex Ultra ensure that the body is supplied with sufficient folate in the ideal form in every case.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):
Folate contributes to:
- the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy
- normal amino acid synthesis
- normal blood formation
- normal homocysteine metabolism
- normal psychological function
- normal function of the immune system
- to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- cell division
