Product Description
Solgar proudly introduces Folate 400 mcg and 800 mcg (as Metafolin) Tablets. Each product offers L-methylfolate-Metafolin, a patented biologically active form of folate, to help support heart, vessel, prenatal, brain, and sperm health.
Folate, a water-soluble B vitamin, must be replaced regularly since it is not stored in the body to any extent. The majority of the population, in particular the elderly, does not obtain enough folate from the diet for optimal functioning.
Folic acid, the best-known form of folate, must be converted in the body to its active form via a series of biochemical steps. Metafolin (L-methylfolate) requires no conversion because it is bioidentical to the active form in the body. When compared to folic acid, L-methylfolate has been shown to be absorbed equally as well, has a higher bioavailability in an equal dose, and may be more consistently bioavailable. In addition, L-methylfolate does not appear to hide indications of vitamin B12 deficiency, a concern when supplementing with high levels of folic acid.
Research has shown L-methylfolate to be even more effective than folic acid in supporting heart health. Studies have also shown its positive effects on vessel, brain, and sperm health. Additionally since folate is particularly important in the normal development of the fetus and the neural tube, L-methylfolate's higher bioavailability may make it a preferred form for those concerned with prenatal support.
