    What is the role of Active Folate in Human Health?

    Folate plays a critical role in many of the body’s essential functions, including DNA synthesis and repair, cellular division, and amino acid metabolism.

    Quatrefolic® represents the latest innovation in folate technology, offering the most bioavailable form of folate, 5-MTHF in the form of glucosamine salt.

    The traditional form of supplemented folate, folic acid, must undergo conversion in the body to its active form, 5-MTHF, a process mediated by the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)

    Quatrefolic® delivers folate in its active form directly accessible to the human body.

    The superior bioavailability of Quatrefolic® makes it particularly beneficial during pregnancy for preventing neural tube defects, crucial for supporting cognitive functions in the elderly, and effective in maintaining cardiovascular health due to its role in homocysteine metabolism.
