Folic acid – The essential vitamin B9: importance, deficiency and high-quality supplementation

Folic acid (folate) is one of the B vitamins, is water-soluble, and also known as vitamin B9. This particular vitamin cannot be produced by the body and must therefore be regularly consumed through food. Unfortunately, even a balanced diet often does not adequately cover the folate requirement, as many people are unable to absorb or metabolize the folate ingested through food. Furthermore, many foods (especially green foods like vegetables and salad) nowadays contain hardly any folate, and this sensitive vitamin is often destroyed by heat and water before it can be absorbed through food.

This creates a need for dietary supplements that can compensate for this deficiency. These supplements contain the synthetic form of folate, folic acid. This form of folate is stable and can be precisely dosed as a dietary supplement. However, there are important things to consider here, and there are significant differences in quality.

L-methylfolate vs. folic acid

Folic acid is the synthetically produced form of folate, while methylfolate (or L-methylfolate) is the methylated form of folic acid and thus the most bioactive, highly bioavailable form. The Quatrefolic® L-methylfolate we use has a purity of at least 99.9% and is considered one of the highest quality premium raw materials of its kind.

In everyday language, there is often no distinction made between these forms, even though they are clearly different.

Folic acid (also known as naturally occurring folate) is biologically inactive and must therefore first be converted into the metabolically active L-methylfolate or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) in a multi-step process. A prerequisite for this conversion is that the body can produce a specific enzyme that enables the conversion of folic acid to L-methylfolate. Studies show that a large proportion of the world's population does not produce this enzyme (or does not produce enough of it), meaning that the folic acid consumed cannot be converted into the active L-methylfolate form. L-methylfolate is the reduced or methylated form of folic acid, which is optimally absorbed by the body. It is immediately active and therefore immediately available to the body, as it requires no prior conversion.

The effect of L-methylfolate

  • Folate contributes to normal immune system function and psychological function.

  • Folate contributes to normal psychological function.

  • Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

  • Folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy.

  • Folate contributes to amino acid synthesis, homocysteine ​​metabolism and blood formation.

The consequences of a folate deficiency

If there is a folate deficiency, cell division and growth processes no longer function sufficiently.As a result, anemia can occur.There is an increased need for folate, especially during pregnancy, because a deficiency increases the risk of congenital malformations and brain or spinal cord damage in the child.

The recommended daily dose

The recommended daily dose for adolescents and adults is 300-400 µg per day.For pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers, the recommended intake is 550 µg and 450 µg per day, respectively. Folic acid or L-methylfolate should not be taken in excess of 1000 µg per day, as this may lead to an overdose.
