What is Herbs of Gold Activated Folate 500?

Herbs of Gold Activated Folate 500 provides methylfolate (5-MTHF), the metabolically active form of folate, in a high-potency 500mcg dose. The formula uses Quatrefolic®, a patented glucosamine salt of methylfolate that offers superior stability and bioavailability.

Unlike synthetic folic acid which requires multiple enzymatic conversions, methylfolate is immediately available for use in the body. This is particularly significant for individuals with MTHFR enzyme variations who may have reduced ability to convert folic acid to its active form.

Activated folate supports numerous bodily functions including brain health, cognitive function, memory, and emotional wellbeing. It plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health by helping reduce homocysteine levels, supports red blood cell production, and is essential for healthy foetal development during pregnancy.

The formula is suitable for those seeking an alternative to folic acid supplementation that doesn't mask vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms—a safety consideration with standard folic acid supplements.

Each capsule contains:

Levomefolate glucosamine (Quatrefolic®) - The metabolically active form of folate that your body can use immediately. Unlike synthetic folic acid, this form doesn't require conversion by the MTHFR enzyme. Supports brain health, cognitive function, cardiovascular health, red blood cell production and healthy foetal development.

Does not contain egg, milk, peanut, soy, tree nuts, animal products, gluten, lactose or artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Adults and children over 12 years – Take 1 capsule daily, with food, or as directed by your health professional.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Advise your doctor of any medicine you take during pregnancy, particularly in your first trimester.

Vitamin supplements should not replace a balanced diet.

"Quatrefolic is the gold standard in folate supplementation—it's already in the active methylfolate form, so it works regardless of genetic variations. I commonly see women planning pregnancy or people with MTHFR variations who haven't responded to regular folic acid. This form bypasses those conversion issues entirely."
