HERBS OF GOLD ACTIVATED FOLATE 500

HERBS OF GOLD — ACTIVATED FOLATE 500 General Health | Pregnancy Support | Brain Health | 60 Capsules

DESCRIPTION

Activated Folate 500 by Herbs of Gold is a premium folate supplement that delivers the body-ready, active form of this essential B vitamin — bypassing the conversion step that standard folic acid requires and that a significant portion of the population cannot perform efficiently. Standard folic acid (the synthetic form found in most supplements and fortified foods) must be converted by the body into its active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), before it can be used. This conversion depends on an enzyme called MTHFR, and it is estimated that up to 40% of people carry a genetic variant that impairs this conversion to varying degrees — meaning a meaningful proportion of people taking regular folic acid supplements may not be getting adequate usable folate at all. This formula uses Quatrefolic® — a patented, third-generation form of 5-MTHF (as levomefolate glucosamine) that is water-soluble, highly stable, and already in the biologically active form ready for direct cellular use. Each capsule delivers 500mcg of 5-MTHF, equivalent to a therapeutic dose relevant for a wide range of folate-dependent functions. Folate is required for DNA synthesis and cell division, healthy red blood cell production, cardiovascular health via homocysteine metabolism, and cognitive and emotional function — with low folate levels linked to elevated homocysteine, poor mood, and cognitive impairment. It is also the most critical nutrient for healthy foetal neural tube development in early pregnancy, with adequate folate intake in the periconceptional period significantly reducing the risk of neural tube defects including spina bifida. A clean, single-ingredient formula with no added egg, milk, peanut, soy, tree nuts, animal products, yeast, gluten, lactose, or artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives.
