Description
Solgar Folate 1000mcg (As Metafolin) 60 Tablets is a food supplement providing 60 tablets of folate as Metafolin (calcium L-methylfolate), at 1,000 micrograms per tablet. Folate contributes to normal blood formation and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. Because it's already in the active form, Metafolin doesn't need the conversion step that folic acid requires.
Key Features
- Active, body-ready folate: Provides folate as Metafolin (calcium L-methylfolate), a form that's already active and doesn't need the conversion step that folic acid requires.
- High-potency 1,000mcg per tablet: Each tablet provides 1,000 micrograms of folate.
- Supports normal blood formation and reduces tiredness: Folate contributes to normal blood formation, normal homocysteine metabolism, normal psychological function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Vegan, vegetarian and Kosher: Suitable for vegans, vegetarians and those keeping Kosher.
What is Metafolin and how does it differ from folic acid?
Metafolin is Solgar's name for calcium L-methylfolate, the active form of folate. Unlike folic acid, which the body must convert into its active form before it can be used, Metafolin is already in the form the body uses directly.
What's the difference between Solgar Folate (Metafolin) and Solgar Folacin (Folic Acid)?
Solgar Folacin provides folic acid, the synthetic form of folate, at 400 micrograms per tablet. Solgar Folate provides calcium L-methylfolate (Metafolin), the active form, at a higher potency of 1,000 micrograms per tablet.
Why does this product provide 1,000mcg per tablet rather than the more common 400mcg?
This is a higher-potency folate supplement. Each tablet provides 1,000 micrograms of folate as Metafolin, compared with the 400 microgram amount found in standard folic acid supplements such as Solgar Folacin.
