Solgar - Folate (Metafolin) 400 Mcg, 100 tablets

Folic Acid must first be converted to its active form by a series of biochemical steps, before it is able to be used by the body. Solgar's Folate or Metafolin (L-methylfolate) requires no conversion because it is bio-identical to the bio-active form. In other words, it is 'body-ready'. This can be useful for individuals whose bodies have difficulty converting folic acid to its active form. The active folate in this formulation promotes heart health. It also supports a healthy nervous system and the formation of healthy red blood cells. Adequate folate levels may reduce a woman's risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord defect. Solgar's Folate 400 mcg Tablets are free of yeast, wheat, soy, gluten and dairy products and are formulated without the use of artificial preservatives, flavors or colors. Suitable for vegetarians Sugar, salt and starch free.
