Keep ReadingTogether Health Folate
We've looked to nature's most abundant plant-based source of folate, spinach, to offer our natural alternative to folic acid. In fact, the Latin word folate is derived from literally means 'leaf'. This safe, gentle and highly absorbed folate is just as nature intended, including spinach's bioactive co-nutrients. We use spinach leaves grown without herbicides or pesticides to ensure purity from farm to capsule.
Our folate supplement provides this essential vitamin in a natural form that your body can safely and effectively utilise. By using a powerhouse of nutrition like spinach as our source, along with folate, this supplement contains various phytoactive compounds such as phenols, tannins, flavonoids, saponins, alkaloids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides and steroids, which are linked to their own health-giving properties such as antioxidant activity.
Unmetabolised folic acid is unnatural and has been observed at doses as low as 200 mcg of folic acid. The implications of unmetabolised folic acid are not yet understood, and calls for more research are often made. Still, it has been linked to worrying side effects that could affect the immune system, damage the liver and even promote cancer.
There are no such concerns with folate. Unlike folic acid, there is no upper limit set for folate intake, as high folate intakes have not been reported to cause adverse effects.
