Best for: Women planning a pregnancy or during pregnancy, as well as adults and children over 12 looking for a daily folate supplement that supports maternal tissue growth, normal blood formation, immunity and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

What is Active Folic?

Active Folic is a once-daily folate supplement containing 400mcg of folate from Quatrefolic® L-Methylfolate, a biologically active form of folate designed for better absorption compared with standard folic acid.

Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, normal blood formation, normal immune system function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Active Folic is particularly relevant for women who are pregnant or planning to conceive. The brand states that the beneficial effect in relation to neural tube defects is obtained with a supplemental folic acid intake of 400mcg daily for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.

Who is it best for?

Active Folic may suit:

• women of childbearing age
• women planning to become pregnant
• pregnant women
• those with low folate levels
• people following restricted diets or with limited food variety
• adults and children over 12 looking for a daily folate supplement
• vegetarians
• vegans
• coeliacs

Active Iron highlights women of childbearing age, prenatal and postnatal stages, those low in folate and people following restricted diets as groups who may need more folate.

What problem does it solve?

Folate has several important functions in the body and needs to be consumed regularly.

Active Folic provides 400mcg in one daily capsule and supports normal blood formation, immune system function, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.

For women planning a pregnancy, adequate folate intake is particularly important because low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus.

A simple way to think about it is:

Daily folate requirement → 400mcg L-Methylfolate → supports maternal tissue growth + blood formation + immunity + reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
