Medverita Q-Folate 400 ug 120 capsules

The dietary supplement Medverita Q-Folian 400 ug 120 capsules is a product containing folic acid in its biologically active form, namely levomefolic acid, and chicory root inulin, 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 B vitamin group. It is naturally synthesized by the intestines. It is naturally synthesized by intestinal bacteria and is also found in green leafy plants such as spinach and cabbage. Sometimes its intake is too low compared to needs, for example during pregnancy preparation. In this case, it is useful to take a folic acid supplement. Its active form in the body is levomefolic acid, or 5-MTHF.

Insufficient intake of vitamin B9 can lead to megaloblastic or macrocytic anemia, characterized by an excessive number of red blood cells and great fatigue. Irritability, insomnia, depressive mood, or concentration problems may also occur. Folacin is also essential for supplementation in women trying to conceive, as well as during pregnancy itself. The importance of folic acid lies in its role in the development of the neural tube in the child, as a deficiency can cause spina bifida in the child.

A proper level of folic acid in pregnant women can prevent neural tube defects in the newborn. It also influences the normal growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy [ID 2882].

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

Folic acid is also used for normal psychological processes [ID 81] and contributes to the reduction of the sensation of fatigue. It also helps 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, which influences intestinal peristalsis and thus stool frequency. Inulin is therefore a low-calorie bulking substance that promotes intestinal motility. Furthermore, it is used as a prebiotic because it is broken down and used by bacteria naturally residing in the colon.

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 sensation of fatigue and the normal development and functioning of the nervous system.
