The Risks of Unmetabolized Folic Acid
Recent studies have highlighted the risks associated with unmetabolized folic acid, leading more health experts to advocate for using 5-MTHF supplementation, such as Quatrefolic®, in health practices.
Unmetabolized folic acid is becoming a growing health concern as studies reveal its potential risks, including immune system disruption, increased cancer risk, and developmental issues. This occurs when the body cannot convert folic acid into an active form, allowing it to build up in the bloodstream.
Unlike folic acid, Quatrefolic® is an active form of folate that is easily absorbed and utilized by the body without conversion. It’s safer, more effective, and especially beneficial for individuals with MTHFR gene mutations.
