Folic acid does not actually occur in nature, strictly speaking. Conventional folic acid, which is still used in many food supplements, is an artificial, synthetic product which cannot be used directly by the body; it must first be converted into folate in order to be bioactive. Critically, this conversion cannot always proceed in the body without issue, as a number of cofactors and enzymes are necessary for it to occur.

Our plant-based folate contains the full spectrum of natural folates from lemon peel, supplying this essential vitamin in the same forms and proportions as found in nature. The natural folates are extracted from the peels of nutrient-rich Indian lemons (grown without the use of plant protection products), ensuring that the natural purity of the raw material are preserved in the nutrient extraction: the folates are dissolved from the lemon peels via a particularly gentle water extraction and are thus guaranteed to be free from further solvents and other chemical additives.

The only other ingredient is premium gum arabic, cultivated without the use of plant protection products. In contrast to microcrystalline cellulose, a widely used synthetic filler often mixed with nanoparticles, gum arabic is a natural, fibre-rich food. Our fair trade gum arabic is climate neutral and is sustainably cultivated to conserve resources.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

Effects

Vitamin B9: Folate (Folic Acid)

Folate (vitamin B9) is involved in a number of important bodily functions, such as fulfiling numerous important tasks in cell metabolism, contributing to a functioning energy metabolism, reducing fatigue and tiredness and supporting the immune system and mental functions. It is also required for haematopoiesis, cell division, homocysteine metabolism, the formation of amino acids, the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy and all cell division processes.

Health Benefits of Folate (Vitamin B9)

- The growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy
- Normal amino acid synthesis
- Normal haematosis
- Normal homocysteine metabolism
- Normal mental function
- Normal functioning of the immune system
- Reducing tiredness and fatigue
- Cell division

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), folate contributes to:

the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy
normal amino acid synthesis
normal blood formation
normal homocysteine metabolism
normal psychological function
normal function of the immune system
to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
cell division

Cofactors

All eight essential B vitamins work together. Numerous metabolic processes in the body require them; they can only achieve optimal functionality if each vitamin is in sufficient supply. Therefore, in many cases, it makes sense to supplement these vitamins together.
