• Advanced, bioactive form of folate
• Promotes heart health and red blood cell production
• Important prenatal vitamin

Folate, also known as vitamin B9, plays an important role in our health. It's an essential nutrient involved in DNA synthesis, red blood cell production and cell repair. Our bodies need folic acid to support brain and nervous system health. Folate plays a vital role in prenatal nutrition as it supports proper fetal development, particularly the growth of the skull and spinal cord. Swanson Folate featuring Quatrefolic® can help meet your folic acid needs with a potent 1,360 mcg per serving.

Common folic acid supplements must be metabolized for absorption so less folate actually makes it into the body. Quatrefolic® 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid in Swanson Folate changes that by delivering a scientifically advanced, active form of reduced folate that boasts long-lasting stability, high solubility and improved bioavailability. 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid (5-MTHF) has been studied for its effectiveness in supporting healthy folic acid levels for women.

While folate supplements are a crucial part of dietary regimens for healthy preconception, pregnancy and lactation, emerging research also indicates that Quatrefolic may also be beneficial for postmenopausal women, supporting healthy homocysteine levels and comfort related to hormonal changes, as well as heart and bone health. Additionally, it may contribute to healthy aging for all adults through its role in neuronal and brain health.

Patented water-soluble Quatrefolic is made with an animal- and shellfish-free glucosamine salt, making Swanson Folate veggie caps suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
