DESCRIPTION
The B vitamin folic acid plays an essential role in a range of bodily processes. It is important for the transport of one-carbon groups, in particular methyl groups, but also methylene and formyl groups. Methylation is the addition of a methyl group to DNA, RNA, amino acids, histones and neurotransmitters.
It is an important step in many physiological processes, such as homocysteine metabolism.
Folic acid is needed for the production of blood and is also important for immunity. Folic acid is well-known for its important role in the development of the nervous system in the unborn child. In adults, folic acid aids in mental performance (where mental performance stands for aspects such as concentration, learning, memory and reasoning, as well as resistance to stress) and cognitive function.
As the metabolism of folic acid and that of vitamin B12 are closely related, this product also contains 3 mcg vitamin B12 per tablet. Sucking the tablet guarantees an optimal absorption of vitamin B12.
Most important characteristics of Folic acid 400 mcg plus:
● Sublingual tablet guarantees quick absorption of folic acid and the B6 and B12 vitamins
● ‘Plus’ product: contains the necessary synergists vitamin B6 and B12 for a better efficacy of folic acid
● Contains no aspartame or other artificial sweeteners
● Natural orange aroma for pleasant tasting tablets
USE
Melt 1 sublingual tablet a day under the tongue, during or immediately after a meal. If the sublingual tablet is swallowed before it has melted completely, part of the vitamin B12 is still absorbed. In addition, folic acid is well absorbed in the small intestine. Preferably spread your intake evenly throughout the day.
WARNING
Interactions with regular medication and other natural health products may occur. Please consult an expert about this.
SYNERGISM
Folic acid is especially active when the other B vitamins, in particular vitamins B12 and B6, are also present. Vitamin C also works synergistically with folic acid.
