Folic acid

Folic acid is a supplemental form of vitamin B9 that the body converts into active folate compounds. These compounds participate in DNA synthesis and one-carbon metabolism.

• Scientific identity: Folic Acid; molecule: Pteroylmonoglutamic acid, fully oxidised.
• How it works: Absorbed as the oxidised form: Folic acid is fully oxidised and highly bioavailable, a microgram counting as more than a microgram of natural food folate. Reduced by dihydrofolate reductase: That enzyme converts it toward the usable reduced folates.
• Primary function: It contributes to normal cell division, blood formation, amino-acid metabolism and maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
• What it supports: Folic Acid supports healthy cell renewal, normal blood formation and important nutritional needs before and during pregnancy.
• Important consideration: Folate intake should be considered alongside vitamin B12 status.

CARPEDIEM selected Folic Acid for a clearly defined role within a thoughtfully balanced formulation.

• Formulation purpose: It contributes to normal cell division, blood formation, amino-acid metabolism and maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
• Used in: CARPEDIEM MultiWomen and CARPEDIEM Women’s Beauty & Wellness Stack.
• Works alongside: Folic Acid complements Vitamin B12, Iron and Biotin to support comprehensive daily nutritional support.
• Meaningful contribution: Folic Acid supports healthy cell renewal, normal blood formation and important nutritional needs before and during pregnancy. Supports maternal tissue growth during pregnancy as part of appropriate nutrition.
• Quality and scientific context: Folate intake should be considered alongside vitamin B12 status. 3 ingredient-specific studies are included because the research reports a relevant benefit.
