Folic acid is a B vitamin that is particularly recommended during or before pregnancy. Nevertheless, folic acid is a versatile nutrient with a much broader application than just support for the pregnant. Among other things, the vitamin is good for concentration, memory, learning performance and has a positive influence on the immune system*. We find Vitamin B11 -as we also call folic acid- mainly in green vegetables. Spinach, Brussels sprouts and broccoli are the richest sources, but eggs, whole grain bread and various meats also contain significant amounts of folic acid.

High dose of active folic acid (400 mcg) as recommended by obstetricians
During pregnancy, one of the first questions you will be asked is, "Are you already taking folic acid? In fact, several complications that can occur during pregnancy are related to inadequate folate levels. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor for the development of spina bifida in the developing fetus*.

Therefore, obstetricians actively recommend supplementing with the important b-vitamin throughout the course of pregnancy. And since it takes four weeks for folic acid to be absorbed into your body, the recommendation applies from the moment you want to become pregnant. Midwives recommend minimum supplementation of 400 mcg of folic acid per day. Active Folate contains 400 mcg of Quatrefolic®, the best absorbable folic acid available worldwide. An extremely accessible dose for those who want to get pregnant, or already are!

Folate is the biologically active form of folic acid
Folate is the synthetic form of vitamin B11. Folate is the so-called bioavailable or active form of folic acid and therefore much more absorbable. This is because before our body can absorb folic acid, it has to go through two conversion processes. First from folic acid to dihydrofolate (DHF), then to tetrahydrofolate (THF) before becoming folate (5-MTHF). So when you take folate in a supplement it is readily available to our bodies and therefore much more effective!

Quatrefolic®, the fourth generation of folate
Quatrefolic®, also called the fourth generation of folate, has superior bioavailability compared to other forms of folate. We guarantee stability by binding to glucosamine salt instead of binding to calcium salt (the third generation of folate). The binding with glucosamine salt makes the nutrient more stable in gastrointestinal tract, resulting in better absorption of the folate (5-MTHF). Because Quatrefolic® is the already converted form of 5-MTHF bound to calcium salt, the body needs no further auxiliary nutrients to experience the effect of folate.

Folate form nominated for several awards (quatrefolic®)
Quatrefolic® has also been (almost) awarded at several awards such as the Most Effective Strategic Product Development Award, Best New Ingredient finalist and Finished Product of the Year finalist in the Medical Food category. The number one folate form worldwide!
