Medverita Q-Folate 400 ug 120 Capsules

The dietary supplement Medverita Q-Folian 400 ug 120 capsules is a product that contains folic acid in its biologically active form, i.e., levomefolic acid, and inulin from chicory root, which has prebiotic effects, encapsulated in a convenient capsule form.

Folic acid, also known as folacin or vitamin B9, is an organic chemical compound from the group of B vitamins. It is naturally synthesized by gut bacteria and is also found in green leafy plants such as spinach and cabbage. Sometimes its supply is too low relative to demand, e.g., when preparing for pregnancy. In such cases, folic acid supplementation is advisable. Its active form in the body is levomefolic acid, also called 5-MTHF.

If the supply of vitamin B9 is too low, megaloblastic anemia or macrocytic anemia can occur, i.e., large red blood cells and associated mild fatigue. Irritability, insomnia, depressed mood, or concentration problems may also occur. Folacin is also an important supplement for women who want to become pregnant and during pregnancy itself. It is so important because the acid is involved in the development of the neural tube in children, as a deficiency can lead to spina bifida in the child.

A proper folic acid level in the pregnant woman can prevent neural tube defects in the newborn. It also contributes to the normal growth of maternal tissue during pregnancy [ID 2882].

Vitamin B9 stimulates cell division and is also involved in it [ID 193]. Furthermore, it is involved in the production of blood cells [ID 79]. It is also a component of homocysteine conversion reactions [ID 80]. It is also a component for the production of amino acids [ID 195].

Folic acid is also needed for normal psychological processes [ID 81] and contributes to the reduction of the feeling of fatigue. It also supports the immune system in its work [ID 91].

The inulin contained in the product is a polysaccharide that is not digested by humans. It is a component of dietary fiber that affects intestinal peristalsis and thus the frequency of bowel movements. Inulin is therefore a low-calorie filler that supports intestinal motility. In addition, it is used as a prebiotic because it is broken down and utilized by the bacteria naturally residing in the large intestine.

In summary, Medverita Q-Folian 400 ug 120 capsules is a dietary supplement that provides folic acid, an extremely important B vitamin responsible, among other things, for reducing the feeling of fatigue and for the normal development and function of the nervous system.
