MST Nutrition Folate 400 Quatrefolic is a premium nutritional supplement that supplies bioactive folate in the form of Quatrefolic. Quatrefolic is the glucosamine salt of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), which can be used directly by the body without the need for further conversion.
Bioavailability: Quatrefolic and other forms of 5-MTHF have higher bioavailability than folic acid because they can be used by the body directly.
Uses: Folate usually comes from food, and folic acid is often used in supplements and fortified foods to ensure people get enough vitamin B9.
Summary: Although folate and folic acid are different forms of vitamin B9, folate is the natural form and folic acid is the synthetic form. Folic acid is more bioavailable and does not require conversion in the body, while folic acid must first be converted, which can be problematic for some people due to genetic differences.
