Folinic acid - 60 lozenges

Folinic acid lozenges

Are you sensitive to methylated vitamins, but do you need extra folate? Then folic acid is an excellent, easily absorbable and methyl-free alternative. Folinic acid is quickly converted into methylfolate, the primary form of vitamin B9 in the human body.

Sensitivity to methylfolate

Some people are sensitive to the active form of vitamin B9 also known as methylfolate. Taking this form directly can cause side effects such as headache, nervousness or a fast heartbeat.

Potent and highly absorbable formulation

Seeking Health Folinic Acid Lozenges contain a powerful dose of folic acid. Each great tasting lozenge delivers 1360 mcg DFE (Dietary Folate Equivalent / 800 mcg) folic acid in a highly absorbable form.

Folate with a slower and milder effect

Unlike methylfolate, folic acid must go through additional enzyme steps before your body can use it. This slower release may provide relief and comfort for people who are sensitive to methylated vitamins.

Why Folic Acid Lozenges Work

Your body produces vitamin B9 (folate) through several enzymatic steps. The final step is the MTHFR enzyme, which generates the active biological form methylfolate. The body uses this active form of folate to support the normal function of many processes.

Folinic acid is not folic acid

One of the precursors of 5-MTHF is called folinic acid. Folinic acid is metabolically much more active than folates from food or folic acid supplements. Folinic acid should not be confused with folic acid, a synthetic form of folic acid that is not used well by the body.
