Folic Acid

You can start taking folic acid as soon as you want to conceive. It can be taken 4 weeks before conception and throughout the first trimester of pregnancy, to contribute to the growth of maternal tissues and reduce the mother's fatigue.

Folic acid (vitamin B9) contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy, thus supporting fetal development. It also plays an important role in normal blood formation and helps maintain normal psychological functions.

In addition, folic acid contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and helps reduce fatigue.

Concretely, in order to be properly assimilated by our body, folic acid must be converted into 5-MTHF. This form is the only biologically active form of folate.

Consuming folic acid in the form of 5-MTHF therefore provides the body with folic acid that it will assimilate directly, without any effort of transformation, unlike other forms of folic acid.

The term “generation” refers to a specific phase in the development and evolution of this folic acid.

This corresponds to a series of improvements or modifications made to this vitamin in order to make it more effective, safer or better adapted to human needs. In the case of Quatrefolic®, this means that 4 phases of development and modifications have been applied to the basic molecule to obtain a more effective, safer and more stable vitamin. It is therefore interesting to favor a 4th generation folic acid to choose a folic acid that is better assimilated and more effective on the body.

A highly stable folic acid is a folic acid that is resistant to chemical and physical changes. In other words, it is interesting because it retains its structure and properties under various conditions.

Quatrefolic® can be taken safely long-term under the supervision of a healthcare professional, with careful attention to appropriate doses and other potential drug interactions. If you have specific concerns, it is best to consult a physician.

Folic acid can be consumed without being pregnant or wanting to become pregnant, due to its many roles in the body.

You can absolutely consume our Folic Acid for several months without the need to take a break. However, in the long term, we recommend that you seek the advice of a health professional.

Yes because folic acid is very important in preventing neural tube defects (which later becomes the brain and spinal cord), it supports the formation of blood cells and helps fetal growth and development by participating in DNA synthesis and cell division.
