NATURAL FOLATE 400 mcg SINGULARIS Superior is a dietary supplement in the form of vegan capsules that provides highly bioavailable folate for our body. Obtained from standardized lemon extract (RGen FA®).

NATURAL FOLATE 400 mcg SINGULARIS Superior is a natural lemon extract standardized to a minimum content of 5% folate. 385 ripened fruits from Soil Association-certified farms are necessary to obtain 1 kg of folate.

The impact and action of folate are under constant and strict control of medical laboratory technicians and microbiologists to ensure that its use as a dietary supplement is always safe and valuable for our body.

Folates are susceptible to oxidation, rapidly losing activity in food and are largely destroyed, up to 90%, through cooking.

Folic acid obtained from food needs to be metabolized into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) for full metabolic effectiveness. Most of the consumed folate comes from the synthetic form of folic acid in supplements and added to food.

Today, we know that folic acid undergoes complex metabolism, and there are differences among populations in their ability to effectively metabolize folic acid into its bioactive form.

Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. Supplemental folic acid intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. The disease to which the claim is referring has multiple risk factors and altering one of these risk factors may or may not have a beneficial effect. The target population is women of child-bearing age. The beneficial effect is obtained with a supplemental folic acid daily intake of 400 μg for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.
