Synthetic folic acid needs to be converted to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in order to be absorbed and utilised by the body.
Folate is dietary folate and is mainly obtained from green leafy vegetables, legumes, fish, eggs, nuts and other daily foods.
Folic Acid is synthetic folic acid, which is the most common folate available on the market and is more stable than dietary folate and is now the mainstream.
5-MTHF is active folate, which avoids the MTHFR gene polymorphism and does not need to be metabolised, and is absorbed and utilised by the body directly in the small intestine without any toxic side effects
After years of work, scientists have developed Magnafolate.
Magnafolate is the unique patent protected C crystalline L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium salt (L-5-MTHF Ca) which can get the purest and most stable bio-active folate.
Magnafolate can be absorbed directly, no metabolism, applied for all people.
