Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is the bioactive form of folic acid.
Folic acid is an important vitamin for any woman who wants to get pregnant. Folic acid is part of the B vitamins and helps to prevent serious birth defects of the brain or spinal cord of a child (called neural tube defects) and other malformations such as the upper lip or the heart.
Folic acid is necessary very early in during pregnancy, usually even before a woman realizes that she is pregnant. It is therefore very important, that every woman that has a chance of becoming pregnant must consume enough folic acid, at least one month before pregnancy. An easy way to make sure you are getting enough folic acid is to take multivitamins. Folic acid also helps women after childbirth, stimulating lactation and protecting against intestinal parasites and food toxins.
Folic acid (vitamin B9) protects consumers from the risk of myocardial infarction and other heart disease. The substrate is represented by the decrease of homocysteine levels in the blood, a substance associated with heart disease, increased risk of strokes. On the other hand, folic acid stimulates the formation of red blood cells and leukocytes, meaning “re-refreshing” of the blood and immune system.
Folic acid helps us to be beautiful – gives skin a healthy look and cures some spots of discoloration; associated with other vitamin B-Complex delays hair graying. Folic acid also acts to prevent anemia.
The combination of folic acid with vitamin B12 and vitamin B6 increases the scope of this product with beneficial effect on the health of the circulatory system by reducing blood homocysteine (an element of abnormal thickening of the blood).
