Product description
Key Benefits
- Provides 400 μg active folate (5-MTHF).
- Contributes to normal cell division and blood formation.
- Supports maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
- Contributes to normal spermatogenesis.
Folate delivers 400 μg of vitamin B9 in its active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), using Quatrefolic® for reliable absorption. Unlike synthetic folic acid, this biologically active form is immediately available for use by the body.
Folate contributes to normal cell division, normal blood formation, and normal amino acid synthesis. Adequate maternal folate status is particularly important during pregnancy, as supplementation increases maternal folate levels, and low maternal folate status is a recognised risk factor in the development of neural tube defects.
In men, folate contributes to normal spermatogenesis and supports DNA synthesis and cell division. This makes it a relevant nutrient for both women and men during the preconception period.
Each capsule provides a clearly defined daily dose in a simple, single-ingredient formulation, suitable for long-term use during fertility planning and pregnancy.

Suggested use
Take 1 capsule per day with a cold drink, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
For preconception, it’s recommended to take folate for at least three months before trying to conceive, as egg and sperm maturation cycles take around 90 days.
During pregnancy, continue daily supplementation, especially through the first trimester, to support neural tube development. Consistency is key, and benefits may not be “felt” immediately, but folate is working at a cellular level to support fertility and early foetal health.
