Active Folate for Cardio
The importance of the correct folate supplementation – like Quatrefolic® – appears even more considered in cardiovascular health strategies. A new video illustrates why and how active folate can be an ally.
According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death globally – taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. But what can we do to reduce our risk?
Indeed, addressing behavioral and environmental risk factors and dietary habits is a start. Folate supplementation, maintaining and/or restoring healthy plasma levels, may help, especially in people who are aging and often experience declines in nutrient intake, as is the case with vitamin B9.

A Short Video to Describe the Link Between Quatrefolic® and Homocysteine Levels
Individuals deficient in folate will accumulate high blood levels of homocysteine, which has been clinically recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
A new video, part of a dedicated collection named Quatrefolic® 360°, is available on the just-opened Quatrefolic® YouTube channel to highlight:
- Why folate supplementation can have a role in the reduction of cardiovascular risks?
- What is the link between homocysteine and folate?
- When active folate 5-MTHF, like Quatrefolic® is better than folic acid?
Deep Dive Into Folate
Folate, also known as vitamin B9 or folic acid, is a water-soluble essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in many physiological processes in the body, such as healthy cell growth, DNA synthesis, and red blood cell formation.
