Active Folic Acid 400 mcgVitakruid
Active Folic Acid 400 mcg by Vitakruid
We find Vitamin B11 – as folic acid is also known – primarily in green vegetables. Spinach, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli are the richest sources, but eggs, wholemeal bread, and various types of meat also contain significant amounts of folic acid.
Our Active Folic Acid contains 400 mcg of Quatrefolic®, the most absorbable folic acid available worldwide. An extremely accessible dosage for those wishing to conceive, or who are already pregnant!

Excellent product
Folate is the biologically active form of folic acid
Folic acid is the synthetic form of Vitamin B11. Folate is the so-called biologically available or active form of folic acid and therefore much more absorbable. Before our body can absorb folic acid, it must undergo two conversion processes. First from folic acid to dihydrofolate (DHF), then to tetrahydrofolate (THF), and only then does it become folate (5-MTHF). When you receive folate in a supplement, it is directly available to our body and thus much more effective!
Quatrefolic®, the fourth generation of folate
Quatrefolic®, also known as the fourth generation folate, has a superior bioavailability compared to other forms of folate. Vitakruid guarantees stability through the binding with glucosamine salt instead of binding to calcium salt (the third generation of folate). The connection with glucosamine salt makes the nutrient more stable in the stomach and intestinal tract, resulting in better absorption of the folate (5-MTHF).
Because Quatrefolic® is the already converted form of 5-MTHF bound to calcium salt, the body does not need any further auxiliary nutrients to experience the effects of folic acid. The number one form of folate worldwide!
User-friendly due to small tablet
The Active Folic Acid tablets are extremely small. We are talking about a diameter of only nine millimetres, an average weight of 160 milligrams, and a thickness of around three millimetres. Even swallowing several tablets at once should pose no problem!
- Folate contributes to: extra energy in case of fatigue/tiredness, brain and nerve functions involved in learning ability, the production of cells and tissues, the formation of red and white blood cells, and normal amino acid synthesis.
- Folate has a positive influence on the immune system
- Folic acid supplementation increases the folate status of the mother. A low folate status of the mother is a risk factor for the development of spina bifida in the developing foetus. The beneficial effect is obtained with an additional folic acid intake of 400 mcg per day for at least one month before and up to three months after conception.

It states that they are lozenges, but the description mentions swallowing the tablets. What's the situation here?
The Active Folic Acid 400 mcg from Vitakruid are indeed swallow tablets. You can simply swallow them with some water.
It is true that there are also lozenges available for certain supplements, such as the Folic Acid Folate 400 mcg lozenges from our own Vitaminstore brand. These are specially designed to be sucked on, which can enhance the absorption of the ingredients: https://www.vitaminstore.nl/product/vitaminstore-actief-foliumzuur-voorheen-folaat-400-zuigtabletten-292267

I am already taking the Vitaminstore Mega Multi which contains 400mcg of folic acid. Is it necessary to take an additional active form of folic acid when planning for a baby?
It is not necessary to take additional active folic acid. However, we do recommend switching to Prenatal if you are planning to conceive. Prenatal contains all the vitamins and minerals you need during pregnancy and the breastfeeding period, as well as when you are planning for a baby. Prenatal also includes the biologically active form of folic acid.
