This is a natural Folate & very different in structure & function from isolated folic acid, the most commonly sold supplemental form, which does not occur naturally in foods. If our metabolism is working correctly folic acid is converted to methylfolate, (a wholly safe & beneficial nutrient) by our body. But often this process is not efficient & un-metabolised folic acid, which is not necessarily beneficial, remains in the body. Food is the major source of Folates. However in a large percentage of the population Folate intake from food is insufficient for health. An adequate intake of Folate is essential for the prevention of many disorders such as anaemia neural tube defects, various forms of cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, colon cancer & depression.
