There is significant evidence that adequate folate intake can provide significant cellular and neural protection, as well as a source of energy. In this formula, folate is provided as Metafolin®, the natural and universally metabolized form of folate. Metafolin® is chemically identical to the active metabolite of folate found naturally in foods, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). Clinical evidence indicates that the bioavailability of Metafolin® is greater than that of folic acid. Adequate folate levels are important for red blood cell formation and protein metabolism. At the molecular level, the main function of folate is to donate methyl groups in key biochemical reactions. In particular, this B vitamin is essential for proper neural and cellular development of the central nervous system of the fetus. Research shows that daily supplementation with at least 400 mcg of folate before and early in pregnancy helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Metafolin® is a registered trademark of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.
