I chose this bioactive folate (not conventional folic acid) because of its 1,240 mcg DFE dosage and the reputation of the Vitacost line for offering high-quality methylated forms with pure ingredients. The quantity of 60 capsules also proved adequate for an initial testing period. The product is still in transit; this review only records the reason for the purchase and the specifications that motivated the decision. I intend to update the text after receiving the product and after the first few weeks of use, describing any noticeable differences compared to other forms of folate I have used. So far, the product's purpose seems aligned with what is sought in active folate supplementation.
Active Form Quatrefolic® Everyday Essentials Potency · Purity · Pride Vegetarian Vitamin Supplement Skip synthetic folic acid—supplement with a better form of this essential B vitamin with Vitacost Bioavailable Folate with Quatrefolic®. What is Bioavailable Folate? Folate, named after the Latin word for leaf (folium), is a B vitamin found in leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, beans and peas. It’s not produced or stored by the body and must be regularly replenished through diet. When supplementing with folate, most people take folic acid—which is a synthetic form of folate. In the body, folic acid must be metabolized to its bioactive form before it can be used—and only a small percentage is believed to actually make it into the body’s cells. Now, Bioavailable Folate offers a better way to obtain folate. It features Quatrefolic®, a scientifically advanced, active form of folate that’s complexed with glucosamine for better solubility and bioavailabilty than other available forms. What are the key benefits of Synergy Bioavailable Folate? Folate is an essential B vitamin needed by the body to produce and maintain new cells, as well as for the creation of DNA and RNA. Folate is needed for the maintenance of healthy homocysteine levels. Folate plays a part in the formation of SAM-e (s-adenosyl methionine), a compound that regulates many functions, including mood.

This extra bioavailable folate is a great value. Enjoy taking it.
I need to take folate and this form seems helpful for me.
I take this to get through a stressful day. It works. My mood has improved immensely and stressful situations do not seem to bother me as much. I feel more positive and do not feel depressed like before. This is a high quality product with a great price. I will never go back to taking folic acid. Bioavailable Folate is the only way to go.
If you take vitamin B9, only in the form of methylfolate. It is good to combine it with methylcobalamin.
This is preferred to Folic Acid due to its form being more usable and safer. Recommended by my functional medicine provider to support methylation in menopause.
Great price, service was excellent and the price was great, I will buy again
Good value and clean product with high quality ingredients. Tiny caps…easy to swallow.
This product assists my husband and me with maintaining a positive frame of mind. Vitacost offers this and many other products at affordable prices!
The price is right and this works exceptionally well for my husband’s issues!
