During the event, our expert Luca Tiano, Professor of Nutrigenetic and Nutrigenomic at the Polytechnic University of Marche, will highlight the characteristics of the active form of folate (Quatrefolic® ) versus folic acid’s, the synthetic form of folate. Illustrating by numerous clinical studies and applications, this speaking session will be the opportunity to end the confusion around the hot-topic question: Which form of folate is better?
Join the speaking session “Awareness of folate: how to choose the right form? Quatrefolic® the innovative folate” on the 6th of October at h3:00 PM at the New Ingredients Theatre. |
In the past few years, clinical studies have highlighted increasing pieces of evidence of the advantages of reduced folate vs folic acid. This knowledge has raised an important question: which form of folate is better?
Vitafoods Europe 2021 will be the opportunity to present you with some key elements of the answer.
How is Quatrefolic® an Innovative Form of Nutrition?
In the form of the glucosamine salt of 5-MTHF, Quatrefolic® reveals significant advantages over calcium salt and the previous folate generations, like high solubility and enhanced bioavailability.
Compared to standard folic acid, Quatrefolic® doesn’t lead to accumulation of Unmetabolized Folic Acid (UMFA) in the blood, which has no biological function and whose effects are not yet known.
Quatrefolic® is recommended to efficiently normalize homocysteine levels and the folate status of all potential individuals including people with MTHFR polymorphism.
Quatrefolic® does not mask vitamin B12 deficiency and, this results in tangible advantages and safer profile vs standard folic acid – especially in the critical age group of the elderly who are very often deficient in folate.
