Quatrefolic® vs. Folic Acid

The body can’t just use folic acid as it is—it has to go through a conversion process into a form called Methyltetrahydrofolate, or MTHF, in order to use it. Quatrefolic® doesn’t go through the same conversion process as folic acid, effectively bypassing that genetic variation.
