Product Information

You should not use metformin if you have severe kidney disease, metabolic acidosis, or diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment). Note the “L” in some of the above names. This letter indicates that the vast majority of human bodies can absorb it. “6(S)” instead of “L” indicates this as well. Quatrefolic Acid® – Again, this is the stuff we use at Intelligent Labs. Patented internationally by Gnosis, it is the most scientifically advanced 5-MTHF formulation on the market. This 5-MTHF is better-absorbed by your body because it’s bound to shellfish-free glucosamine instead of calcium. A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/ tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing. Metformin may stimulate ovulation in a premenopausal woman and may increase the risk of unintended pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about your risk.

Normal boiling times can eliminate roughly half of the folate in spinach and broccoli, but steaming does not reduce folate at all. Boiling potatoes and grilling meat don’t seem to reduce folate either, even if you cook them longer than normal. (26)Healthcare providers often suggest that pregnant women supplement with folate while pregnant to prevent birth defects such as neural tube defects. This is because the effects of folate shortages on the baby’s development have been well-studied for a long time.

Most pregnant women in countries that use fortification consume greater than 0.4mg/day folic acid due to the combination of food fortification and prenatal multivitamins (which typically contain 0.6–1.0mg folic acid per dose) [ 14]. In a Canadian pregnancy cohort ( n=1533), 87% of women had total folic acid intakes (supplements and fortified foods) greater than the upper limit (1.0mg/day) [ 15]. Studies in Canada and the United States have shown that population-wide blood folate levels have increased substantially following fortification [ 16, 17]. In two Toronto-based pregnancy cohorts, the mean red blood cell (RBC) folate was >2300nmol/L at 12–16weeks’ gestation and at 36weeks’ gestation, regardless of supplementation regimen [ 18, 19]. RBC folate >1090nmol/L is indicative of intakes >2.1mg dietary folate equivalents (DFEs) per day [ 17]. National surveys have identified that since the initiation of food fortification, the prevalence of folate deficiency (RBC folate <305nmol/L) has decreased from 38% to 5% in the United States and is essentially non-existent in Canada (<1%) [ 16, 17, 20].

Metafolin is the stable calcium salt of Methyl tetra hydro folate, which acts as an active form of folate in the body. This means, upon its intake, it does not have to go through a series of processes to become available for use - instead, it can directly enter the metabolic process of folate. Therefore, high-quality milk formula brands prefer to incorporate Metafolin into their milk formulas because it shows a higher absorption potential in the body, hence leading to optimum effects. It is also found to have a higher bioavailability as compared to folic acid. In addition, regular consumption of Metafolin can reduce the plasma homocysteine while increasing the folate levels found in the red blood cells and the plasma. Metafolin Side Effects

Metafolin is a source of folate, which is required for the body’s healthy functioning and maintenance of the various body systems like the nervous, digestive, and immune systems. Hence a deficiency of folate can lead to several adverse effects in a growing and developing baby. Therefore, consuming Metafolin can most likely prevent that. Higher BioavailabilityIt is synthesized in the absorptive cells of the small intestine from polyglutamylated dietary folate. It is a methylated derivative of tetrahydrofolate. Whether it is Folate fortified milk or any other kind of formula milk, preparation is one of the critical factors involved in its effects on the infant. Incorrect preparation methods or prolonged storage time can lead to the introduction of unwanted side effects or the introduction of harmful substances in the baby’s digestive tract. This is why it is important to prepare fresh milk every time before feeding the baby. In addition, the parents should make sure not to refeed any old formula milk and wash the bottle before and after feeding. Most infant formulas recommend the formula be used within three weeks, after which it may lose some beneficial properties. L-methylfolate is becoming widely recognised as an effective complementary medicine for patients with severe depression. That is, using it alongside pharmaceutical drugs (SSRI) to enhance the overall effectiveness of treatment (much like fish oil and depression). As with almost any supplement, this is not something you should take forever. Nor even everyday in most cases, but rather as a complementary medicine prescribed by your doctor. L-methylfolate also exists naturally in foods, so that should be your preferred source. Your body is also incapable of directly using folate. Therefore, the vitamin must be converted into methylfolate, the purest biologically active form of vitamin B9 that your body can actually use. Methylfolate, also referred to as 5-MTHF, is responsible for methylation throughout your body. Optimal methylation is needed for efficient biochemical reactions in your body related to neurotransmitter production, DNA production, fat production, detoxification, cellular energy, and the function of histamine, estrogen, the liver, and the eyes.
