Description
Supreme Wellness Folate with Myo Inositol 120 capsules
Supreme Wellness Folate contains two ingredients: Myo-Inositol 500 mg and Quatrefolic® 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate 50 μg (per capsule). Both are critical in healthy reproduction for men and women. Folate should not be confused with folic acid.
Recommended dosage: Take 2 – 4 capsules twice a day.
Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9 in food, while folic acid is a synthetic form. If genetic mutations are present, synthetic folic acid cannot be converted into folate. Unmetabolised folic acid has been associated with several health and fertility problems.
QUATREFOLIC, THE “ACTIVE FORM”
OF FOLATE DOES NOT ADD TO THE
BUILD UP OF UNMETABOLISED
FOLIC ACID IN THE BLOOD.
Most folate consumption is coming from folic acid, the synthetic version in supplements which is also added to foods. Folic acid (like food folate) is inactive and must be metabolised to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) to become metabolically active. Today we know that this is a complex metabolic process. Many people taking folic acid supplements may still be gravely folate deficient; this is because numerous genetic variations can impair the conversion of folic acid into the bioactive form.
Despite this, dietary folate intake is often poor for many reasons. Natural folates are susceptible to oxidation and 90% can also be destroyed by cooking. Typical folates
also have a low and incomplete bioavailability.
