Methylfolate ((6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid or (6S)-5-MTHF) — is the most biologically active form of folic acid. Quatrefolic — represents a fourth-generation folic acid supplement. In the presence of certain hereditary metabolic disorders and during psychological stress, the transformation of folic acid into the active folate form is inadequately executed. Unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF can cross the blood-brain barrier.
Health note: A healthy diet with an adequate intake of folic acid may reduce the risk of giving birth to a child with certain neural tube defects.
Elderly individuals need to frequently check their vitamin B12 levels when taking folate, as folic acid can mask the symptoms of pernicious anemia. People suffering from diseases, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, when planning a pregnancy, individuals under 18 years of age, or those on medication (especially anti-epileptic drugs or chemotherapy), should consult with a doctor before starting this product.
