How does folic acid affect vitamin B12?
 Compared to Folic acid, advantages of Magnafolate®:

  • 2 times higher bioavailability ;
  • No need to metabolize, can be absorbed directly.
Folic acid need to be converted to the metabolically active 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) through a multi-steps process where the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays a key role. While,  70% people who can’t convert the folic acid due to the MTHFR gene mutation. However, Magnafolate® is suitable for all people, Magnafolate® can cross blood brain barrier and be absorbed directly, which has a good effect on folate metabolism disorders as well.
