Healthy fetal growth & development

Folic acid or its equivalent folate, is a water-soluble vitamin B9 present in certain food types like Spinach, liver, asparagus, and brussels sprouts. It is essential for healthy fetal growth and development and hence highly recommended during pregnancy.

Quatrefolic

Qfolic has biologically active folic acid, with better bioavailability, better solubility, and safety. Unlike some other variants of folic acid, Qfolic does not need any metabolization and does not expose cells to unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA).

Folate deficiency

Folate deficiency can occur due to a variety of causes, including inadequate dietary intake, surgery, pregnancy, and malabsorptive diseases. Deficiency can result in serious side effects, including megaloblastic anemia, birth defects, mental impairment, impaired immune function and depression.
