Magnafolate VS Folic Acid

Magnafolate and folic acid

  • 70% of the global population cannot metabolize Folic Acid into Folate due to a genetic mutation, while Magnafolate can be absorbed directly. 
  • When taking folic acid, unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA ) would be produced because the liver has limited metabolic ability for folic acid. While Magnafolate is much safer and doesn’t bring UMFA.
  • UMFA is related to pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus and may increases Obesity, Type 2 diabetes, Allergic diseases, risk of epilepsy and even tumor diseases.
