Benefits

Folate (Vitamin B9) is essential for cell growth and DNA synthesis, supporting ovarian health and regular menstrual cycles by helping to regulate homocysteine levels. For individuals with an MTHFR gene mutation who may struggle to convert folic acid into its usable form, supplementing with the active form of folate can be beneficial. Adequate folate intake is also crucial during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects and support healthy fetal development. The recommended dose for women of reproductive age is 400ug.

Evidence

  • Our formula contains an activated form of folic acid so your
    body does not have to convert. For individuals with an MTHFR gene mutation who may struggle to convert folic acid into its usable form, supplementing with the active form of folate can be beneficial. 
  • Most people do not get enough folate and this is especially important for women of reproductive age.
