The 5-MTHF based-ingredients present in the nutritional market differ in the type of counter ions, influencing physical, chemical, and biological parameters, such as Solubility and Bioavailability.
The Quatrefolic® Handbook is a detailed description of the “Quality System Management” implemented in the entire production process, from manufacturing to all quality controls applied.
It is also a strict analysis of the requirements to attest ingredient bioavailability features, emphasizing the superior quality of Quatrefolic® versus competitors.
WHAT DOES THE HANDBOOK INCLUDE?
The handbook was realized through the collaboration of the marketing department with the Research&Applications (R&A) department, QA specialists, and other experts of Gnosis, pointing out :
– Quality contest and stability report
– Folate Bioavailability analysis
– Analytical report on Solubility
WHY SOLUBILITY AND BIOAVAILABILITY OF QUATREFOLIC® ARE KEY?
Oral bioavailability depends on solubility and permeability.
Solubility plays a critical role in drug effectiveness. Without it, a drug substance has fewer chances to be absorbed, leading to low bioavailability.
A need industry is to improve this aspect to guarantee the absorption of soluble active ingredients. Quatrefolic® shows a higher solubility in water versus other folate salts, standing out from the competitors’ features.
This new Handbook tool is part of our commitment to characterize and offer a premium ingredient to our customers, by taking care of all the qualitative aspects of Quatrefolic®.
