Active Folate vs Folic Acid: what's the big debate around folate? Discover Quatrefolic®

The current debate is “which form of folate is better”. Between all of this, Quatrefolic® stands out.

The body needs folates but can’t make them from scratch and must get it from foods or dietary supplements. Another challenge is that folic acid does not occur naturally in foods, and to function within the body it requires to be activated by specific enzymes. On the contrary, Quatrefolic® is the biologically active form of folate and is absorbed directly and naturally by our body.
