Nutricology QuatreActiv Folate – 833 mcg DFE 5-MTHF (Quatrefolic) – 90 Capsules

Why Choose Quatrefolic Over Other Forms?

Quatrefolic, the glucosamine salt of 5-MTHF, offers enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to other folate forms. Unlike folic acid – a synthetic compound that requires conversion in the liver – 5-MTHF is ready for immediate undertake by cells. This makes QuatreActiv Folate an ideal choice for those seeking direct support of methylation cycles. The formulation is also free from common allergens, ensuring broad compatibility.

What Is QuatreActiv Folate?

QuatreActiv Folate delivers 833 mcg DFE (dietary folate equivalents) of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) as Quatrefolic – the glucosamine salt form of active folate. This fourth-generation folate provides a stable, well-absorbed source of methylated folate that supports folate-dependent biochemical processes, including cell growth and nutrient balance.* Unlike standard folic acid, which requires enzymatic conversion, 5-MTHF is immediately usable by the body, making it an efficient choice for direct folate support.

Key Benefits of 5-MTHF Folate

Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and homocysteine metabolism. The body requires folate for proper cell division and tissue growth. Because 5-MTHF is the active form, it bypasses the conversion steps needed with folic acid, particularly benefitting individuals with MTHFR genetic variations that impair folate processing. QuatreActiv Folate supports folate metabolism and cellular function, contributing to overall nutrient utilisation.*

Who Should Consider a Folate Supplement?

Many adults can benefit from ensuring adequate folate intake. This supplement is especially useful for those with dietary restrictions (e.g., vegans, vegetarians) or genetic factors affecting folate metabolism. Pregnant women or those planning pregnancy often require additional folate, but should consult a health care professional. Athletes and individuals under stress may also benefit from supporting methylation and energy production pathways.*
