New Quatrefolic® Educational Videos:
As a leader in the folate supplement market, Quatrefolic® recognises the importance of raising awareness about the advantages of active folate compared to synthetic folic acid.
Through various educational videos, the brand aims to empower consumers and practitioners with a deeper understanding of folate's role in supporting overall well-being.
Active Folate and MTHFR Polymorphism
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a crucial enzyme in folate metabolism. Genetic defects in this enzyme can reduce its activity, leading to elevated homocysteine levels associated with various disorders. The common MTHFR polymorphisms are C677T and A1298C.
Supplementation with 5-MTHF, the active form of folate in Quatrefolic®, bypasses the impaired metabolisation process and is directly absorbed, making it the preferred choice over folic acid for individuals with MTHFR gene mutations.
Watch the video and discover how Quatrefolic® can completely bypass the MTHFR conversion step and deliver a «finished» folate the body can immediately use without any kind of metabolization.
