Premium Bioactive Ingredients
How are we different?
Conventional folic acid, used in many food supplements, is a synthetic product that does not occur in nature in this form. The Metafolin® we use provides active folate as L-methylfolate (L-5-MTHF), which is bound to a calcium salt in a special crystalline type I form and therefore enables excellent absorption by the body.
When selecting this ingredient, we paid particular attention to the stability and the specific crystal form of the salt, in addition to a purity of at least 99.9% of the active (6S) isomer. While many products on the market contain mixed forms with the inactive (6R) isomer, which cannot be utilised by the body, Metafolin® offers an optimised form for efficient utilisation. The patented premium folate Metafolin® features a particularly high absorption rate: studies show that this form can be absorbed into the blood at a rate of 76%, whereas other salt types sometimes achieve much lower values.
Folate contributes to normal blood formation, normal amino acid synthesis and normal psychological function. It also supports the normal function of the immune system, contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and has a role in cell division. Folate is particularly important during pregnancy, as it contributes to maternal tissue growth. Furthermore, it contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
The only other ingredient we use is premium gum arabic as a plant-based carrier. Our gum arabic comes from sustainable and resource-conserving cultivation. 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), also known as vitamin B9, is involved in a number of important bodily functions. This vital vitamin fulfils numerous important tasks in cell metabolism: it contributes to a functioning energy metabolism, can reduce fatigue and tiredness and supports the immune system and mental function. It is required for haematopoiesis, cell division, homocysteine metabolism and the formation of amino acids. Folate also plays a role in the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy. Folic acid is important for all cell division processes.
L-Methylfolate as Metafolin®
The optimal, biologically active form of folate is known as L-methylfolate (more precisely L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate or L-5-MTHF). L-methylfolate is an important methyl donor and an essential component of the methylation cycle.
With at least 99.9% L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate bound to calcium salt in a special type 1-effective crystal form, the patented premium active ingredient Metafolin is of the highest purity of the active 6S isomer. This ensures an extremely high absorption rate of the active ingredient L-5-MTHF.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):
Folate contributes to:
- The growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy
- Normal amino acid synthesis
- Normal haematopoiesis
- Normal homocysteine metabolism
- Normal psychological function
- Normal function of the immune system
- The reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Cell division
