Swanson Folate (5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid)
Swanson Folate (5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid) supplies folate in its reduced, methylated form using the branded ingredient Quatrefolic, presented in vegetarian capsules as a daily food supplement.
Key features
- Made with Quatrefolic, a stable form of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate
- Already in the reduced form, so it does not need converting like standard folic acid
- Highly soluble and bioavailable
- Folate contributes to the normal function of the immune system
- Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Folate is especially important for young women and those planning a family. Ordinary folic acid has to be metabolised before the body can use it, which is why many people look for a methylated alternative such as this one. Two strengths let you choose the level that suits you.
Available in 400mcg and 800mcg strengths, each in a pot of 30 veggie capsules.
