{"product_id":"baldwins-methyl-folate-90-vegetarian-tablets","title":"Baldwins Methyl Folate 90 Vegetarian Tablets","description":"\u003cp\u003eFolates are normally found in a wide variety of foods and are commonly consumed through a diet of green leafy vegetables, sprouts, fruits, brewer's yeast, and animal products such as milk and dairy products, egg yolk and liver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately folates contained in foods are unstable and susceptible to oxidation; they rapidly lose activity during food processing, manufacturing and storage and have a bioavailability range of 25-50%, depending on the kind of food. Fresh leafy vegetables stored at room temperature may lose up to 70% of their folate activity within three days and a cooking process in water can increase the loss to 95%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHumans cannot synthesize folate and because of its water soluble nature, the body stores folate to a limited extent. For this reason folate represents a dietary requirement and must be consumed by diet. Whether we ingest food containing natural or synthetically-derived folates, they are metabolized to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, which is considered the biologically active form of the B-vitamin folic acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuatrefolic® is the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and is structurally analogous to the reduced and active form of folic acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped by Gnosis S.p.A, it represents the fourth generation folate providing greater stability, higher water solubility and multiple ingredients formulation flexibility compared to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium salt guaranteeing an improved bioavailability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Size: 1 Tablet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmount per serving:\u003cbr\u003e\nFolate (from 800mcg Quatrefolic 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate glucosamine) - 400mcg (% of RDA: 200%)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuggested use:\u003cbr\u003e\nTake one tablet daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther ingredients:\u003cbr\u003e\nCellulose, Silica, Stearic Acid (Vegetable Source), Calcium Stearate (Vegetable Source)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains no:\u003cbr\u003e\nArtificial colours, flavours or preservatives; no wheat, gluten, milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soya, crustacean shellfish or fish.\u003cbr\u003e\nSuitable for Vegans\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe guarantee our supplements for potency \u0026amp; purity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vitamer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61740232212810,"sku":"BWMETHF","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1030\/8537\/5818\/files\/BWMETHF_n.jpg?v=1782864504","url":"https:\/\/www.baldwins.co.uk\/products\/baldwins-methyl-folate-90-vegetarian-tablets","provider":"G.
