Solgar Folato (Metafolina) 1000 mg

What is folate and why is it important?

Discover Folate Metafolin) 1000Mg. — Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in numerous bodily functions. Its active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), is what the body actually uses for processes such as DNA synthesis, cell division, and amino acid metabolism. Although folic acid is the synthetic form commonly added to foods, natural folate found in leafy green vegetables, legumes, and citrus fruits is more bioavailable. However, many people have difficulty converting folic acid to its active form due to genetic variations such as the MTHFR mutation. Therefore, a supplement that directly provides the active form can be especially beneficial.

Benefits of folate 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 normal psychological function.
• Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

These properties make folate a crucial nutrient for overall health, especially during stages of rapid cell division such as pregnancy and childhood.

Metafolin: the active form of folate

Solgar Folate uses Metafolin, a bioidentical form of 5-MTHF, the same form that the body produces naturally. This means that it does not require any conversion step in the liver, which makes it directly available to the body. For people with the MTHFR mutation, which affects up to 40% of the population, this advantage is especially important, as their ability to convert folic acid to the active form is reduced. Choosing a supplement with Metafolin ensures that folate is used efficiently from the very first moment.

Recommended daily dose

Each serving of Solgar Folate provides 1000 mg of folate (as Metafolin). This amount is higher than the recommended daily intake for adults (400 µg) and for pregnant women (600 µg). Therefore, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before taking high doses, especially if combined with other supplements. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet.
