Mega Folínico - Source Naturals - 120 Comprimidos

What is Mega Folinic and why is it important?

Mega Folinic from Source Naturals is a food supplement that provides calcium folinate, an active form of folate (vitamin B9). Folate is essential for numerous bodily functions, especially during periods of growth and development. This product comes in easy-to-take tablets, ideal for those seeking an additional source of this fundamental vitamin.

Benefits of folic acid according to EFSA

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, normal blood cell formation, and normal homocysteine metabolism. It also contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the immune system. All these benefits are scientifically supported and are part of the authorized health claims in the European Union.

Recommended daily dose

The usual daily dose of folic acid in supplements is 400 µg for adults, and up to 600 µg during pregnancy, according to Spanish health authority guidelines. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose indicated on the packaging. Consult your healthcare professional for personalized recommendations.

Who is Mega Folinic suitable for?

Mega Folinic is especially indicated for women of childbearing age, pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as for people with increased folate needs. It can also be useful for those who have difficulty absorbing common folic acid, as calcium folinate is a form directly usable by the body. However, it is always advisable to consult a doctor before starting any supplementation.

How to choose the best folate supplement

When selecting a vitamin B9 supplement, it is important to consider the form: synthetic folic acid and methylfolate (5-MTHF) are the most common variants. Mega Folinic uses calcium folinate, a stable and bioavailable form. For people with the MTHFR genetic variant, methylfolate or folinate may be preferable options, although there is no conclusive evidence that they are superior for the general population. The fundamental thing is to choose a quality product from a reputable brand like Source Naturals.
