Solgar Folato 1.333 mcg DFE - 100 Comprimidos - Metafolin Bioactivo

What is folic acid and why is it important?

Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that the body needs for vital functions. However, many people are unaware that synthetic folic acid must be converted into its active form (L-methylfolate) to be used. Solgar Folate directly provides Metafolin®, the bioidentical and active form of folate, ready to be absorbed without the need for liver conversion. This is especially useful for those with genetic difficulties (such as the MTHFR mutation) in transforming conventional folic acid.

Benefits of folic acid according to the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for folate. These include:

• Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
• Folate contributes to normal blood cell formation.
• Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
• Folate contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Solgar Folate, by providing the active form, ensures that these benefits can be optimally utilized.

What makes Solgar Folate special?

The main difference of Solgar Folate compared to other folic acid supplements is its ingredient: Metafolin® (L-methylfolate). This is the same form of folate found naturally in foods and in the body. Since it does not require conversion, it is an excellent option for people with absorption problems or with genetic variants that make it difficult to metabolize synthetic folic acid. In addition, the product is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, non-GMO, and Kosher certified, making it suitable for a wide variety of diets and lifestyles.

Recommended daily dose

Each Solgar Folate tablet provides 1,333 mcg DFE (equivalent to 800 mcg of L-methylfolate). The recommended dose for adults is one tablet daily, preferably with a meal. For pregnant or breastfeeding women, it is advisable to follow the instructions of a healthcare professional, as needs may vary. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Who is it suitable for?

Solgar Folate is designed for anyone who wants to ensure an adequate intake of active folate. It is especially recommended for:

• Women of childbearing age or pregnant (under medical supervision).
• People with the MTHFR mutation or absorption problems.
• Vegans and vegetarians, as dietary sources of folate may be limited.
• Those seeking to support cardiovascular health and the nervous system.

How to choose the best folate supplement

When selecting a vitamin B9 supplement, it is important to look at the form of the nutrient. Synthetic folic acid is cheap, but not everyone converts it efficiently. Methylfolate (like Metafolin®) is the active and directly usable form. In addition, check the certifications: allergen-free, suitable for vegans, and free of unnecessary additives. Solgar Folate meets all these criteria, offering quality and purity backed by a trusted brand.

Remember: Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
