Folate is an essential B vitamin that carries out incredible cellular processes—it helps produce red and white blood cells, forms DNA, and converts carbohydrates into energy. If you are pregnant (or planning to be), Folate is vital. Expecting mothers should take 400-1,000mcg daily for healthy fetal development.

A healthy immune system is your first-line defence against infections and disease, so it’s important to keep it running smoothly. Extracted from wild fish, Omega-3s are essential fats (AKA “good fats”) that boost immunity, support cardiovascular function, and keep your brain sharp. Our capsules are blended for optimal potency and a neutral taste—no odor or fishy flavors.
Your body needs magnesium to perform over 300 biological and physiological processes, yet it doesn’t produce this essential mineral on its own. While whole foods like nuts, legumes and leafy greens can do the trick, supplementing with our high-absorption capsules ensures you get the right daily dose for strong cardiovascular function and improved sleep quality by relaxing muscles, reducing muscle cramping, and promoting an overall feeling of calm.
Biotin helps convert food into energy and keeps your metabolism thriving—all while offering covetable beauty benefits that help prevent (or in some cases, even reverse) signs of aging. After a few weeks of supplementing with our highly concentrated capsules, you’ll notice less hair breakage, stronger nails, and brighter, more radiant skin.
Folate is essential in helping your body produce genetic material and to help cells divide. When the body breaks down Folate, it transforms into the active form of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. This biochemical conversion (also called "methylation"), is essential to cell function.
While Folate naturally occurs in many whole foods such as dark leafy greens and beans, supplementing is key to achieving optimal levels for prenatal care and certain health conditions like celiac disease and other malabsorption syndromes.
• Helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily at least three months before becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy
• Supports healthy fetal development and reduces the risk of spine and brain congenital disabilities
• Prevents folate deficiency in those with malabsorption syndromes
• Helps regulate homocysteine in the blood to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease
History
In 1931, researcher Lucy Wills identified folate's critical role in the human body's biochemical functioning. Wills discovered folate could prevent anemia in pregnant women and put its benefits into practice using brewer's yeast. It wasn't until the late 1930s and 40s that folate was extracted from yeast. Bob Stokstad extracted the pure crystalline form of folate in 1943, which was used as a base for an anti-cancer drug called Aminopterin. Now, people take folate for numerous reasons, most notably for a healthy pregnancy and fetal development.
