Medverita Q-Folate 400 ug 120 capsules

The food supplement Medverita Q-Folian 400 ug 120 capsules is a product containing folic acid in its biologically active form, i.e. levomopholic acid, and inulin from chicory root, which has prebiotic effects, encapsulated in a convenient capsule form.

Folic acid , also known as folacin or vitamin B9, is an organic chemical compound belonging to the B vitamin group. It is naturally synthesized by intestinal bacteria and is also found in green leafy plants such as spinach and cabbage. Sometimes its supply is too low compared to the body's needs, for example, during pregnancy. In such cases, folic acid supplementation is recommended. Its active form in the body is levomepholic acid, also called 5-MTHF.

If vitamin B9 intake is too low, megaloblastic anemia or macrocytic anemia can occur, meaning large red blood cells and the associated fatigue. Irritability, insomnia, low mood, or concentration problems can also occur. Folacin is also an important dietary supplement for women trying to become pregnant, as well as during pregnancy itself. It is so important because the acid is involved in the development of the neural tube in children, as a deficiency can lead to spina bifida in the child.

Adequate folic acid levels in pregnant women can prevent neural tube defects in newborns. It also contributes to the normal growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy [ID 2882].

Vitamin B9 stimulates and participates in cell division [ID 193]. Furthermore, it is involved in the production of blood cells [ID 79]. It is also a component of homocysteine ​​conversion reactions [ID 80]. It is also a component for the production of amino acids [ID 195].

Folic acid is also needed for normal psychological processes [ID 81] and contributes to reducing feelings of fatigue. It also supports the immune system [ID 91].

The inulin contained in this product is a polysaccharide that is not digestible by humans. It is a component of dietary fiber that influences intestinal peristalsis and thus the frequency of bowel movements. Inulin is therefore a low-calorie bulking agent that supports intestinal motility. It is also used as a prebiotic because it is broken down and utilized by the bacteria that naturally live in the large intestine.

In summary, Medverita Q-Folian 400 ug 120 Capsules is a food supplement that provides folic acid, an extremely important B vitamin that is responsible, among other things, for reducing the feeling of tiredness and for the normal development and function of the nervous system.
