Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is one of the essential and vital nutrients. It performs a variety of important functions in the body and is especially vital for cell division and DNA synthesis.

1. Affects red blood cell production:

Folate deficiency affects the normal production and maturation of red blood cells in the bone marrow, leading to a decrease in the number of red blood cells or abnormal morphology, which can lead to anemia.

2. Lack of adequate folate reserves:

Folate is a water-soluble vitamin, and the body cannot store large amounts of Folate for long periods of time. With the decrease of Folate reserve, the production of red blood cells is inhibited, which eventually leads to anemia.

3. Accelerated destruction of red blood cells:

Folate deficiency may lead to a shortened red blood cell life span, i.e., the destruction of red blood cells is accelerated, which in turn leads to anemia.

Maintaining a well-balanced diet and consuming foods rich in Folate, such as green leafy vegetables, beans and eggs, and even Folate supplements, to name a few, is an important way to maintain normal Folate levels and ensure good health.

Magnafolate is a patent protected Crystalline C Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF-Ca) developed by JinKang Hexin in China in 2012.

Magnafolate is safer, purer, more stable and suitable for a wide range of people including those with MTHFR gene mutations.
