Solgar Folate 1000 mcg, 120 Tablets - Bioactive Metafolin - Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Kosher

What is methylfolate and why is it important?

Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is essential for numerous bodily functions. However, not all forms of folate are created equal. Solgar Folate 1000 mcg uses Metafolin, the bioactive form of methylfolate (L-methylfolate). This form is directly usable by the body, avoiding the conversion steps required by synthetic folic acid. For many people, especially those with genetic variations in the MTHFR enzyme, methylfolate can be a more effective option.

Benefits of folate backed by 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 normal psychological function.
• Folate contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
• Folate plays a role in the process of cell division.

Solgar Folate with Metafolin provides 1000 mcg of this essential vitamin, helping to meet daily needs and supporting these vital functions.

Recommended daily dose of folate

The recommended daily dose for adults is 200 µg, but during pregnancy and lactation, needs increase. Spanish health authorities recommend 400 µg daily before and during pregnancy. This supplement provides 1000 mcg per tablet, a dose that may be suitable for people with higher requirements or under professional supervision. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
