AOR BioFolate 30 Capsules:

Vegan, methylated forms of folate and B12 in researched doses.

A combination of folic acid (B9) and vitamin B12 in their active forms; Supports the healthy development of the fetus during pregnancy; Folate helps to form red blood cells and helps prevent folate deficiency; Helps in the normal function of the immune system; Ideal for plant-based and vegan diets.

Folate is vitamin B9, a water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in DNA and RNA synthesis, red blood cell production, the metabolism of proteins and healthy genetic expression.

The body needs folate but can’t synthesize it on its own and as such, must be consumed from foods or dietary supplements. Lifestyle, diet and some medications and diseases can deplete the body’s folate supply. BioFolate™ contains L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), a methylated form of folate.

As folate supplementation can mask a B12 deficiency, biofolate provides combination of  methylated form of folate  with a minimal amount of active B12.

A number of conditions can lead to folate deficiency. Chronic alcohol users can become deficient in the vitamin due in part to ethanol’s impairment of folate absorption and hepatobiliary metabolism, as well as to increased renal folate excretion caused by ethanol. Crohn’s disease, amyloidosis of the small intestine, diabetic enteropathy, and tropical and non-tropical sprue (gluten-sensitive enteropathy) can also result in folate deficiency. Some conditions or situations such as chronic hemolytic anemias (e.g., sickle cell disease), chronic hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, chronic exfoliative skin disorders and of course pregnancy, all cause an increased demand for folate.
