Folate plays a crucial role in the maintenance of the health of a woman throughout life but assumes an even more important role during growth, pregnancy, lactation, and menopause.
Quatrefolic® is a valuable dietary supplement that provides the reduced metabolic form of folate, (6S)-5 methyltetrahydrofolate, that is utilized and stored in the woman's body.
Pregnant and lactating women require more vitamins, such as folate, to meet their increased needs. Rapid growth during infancy, childhood, and adolescence also increases the requirements for essential nutrients. However, folate continues to be as essential in the elderly population as in adult women.
Quatrefolic®, the active form of folate is particularly beneficial for women during the fertile period, as it supports a healthy and successful pregnancy.
The presence of sufficient levels of folate is crucial in the pre- and post-pregnancy periods, as it can reduce the risk of birth defects like spinal cord defects.
Quatrefolic® supplementation may help postmenopausal women to normalize homocysteine, contributing to helping hot flashes, cardiovascular and bone health of aging women.
Additionally, the right levels of folate in the blood can avoid a form of anemia, which can cause fatigue and weakness.
