The name folate comes from the Latin word for foliage, owing to the dark leafy vegetables that boast large amounts of this particular B vitamin. Folate works with vitamins B12 and C to form red blood cells and transport iron.

Since it’s involved in DNA synthesis and cell division, it’s no surprise that folate has a key importance during pregnancy. Prenatal multivitamins will therefore include higher amounts of it, where the superior formulations will not use synthetic folic acid (which requires conversion in the body before it can be used), but the biologically active L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5MTHF).

CanPrev’s B9 Folate Drops feature L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active form of this essential B vitamin. That means that it’s metabolically available for uptake, so these key nutrients can be readily used by your body.

• Helps maintain healthy metabolism
• Supports the immune system
• Aids red blood cell formation

Feelings of fatigue can mean not enough sleep in some cases. But if you’re experiencing fatigue consistently, you may be deficient in certain key nutrients, such as vitamin B9. This vitamin, also known as folate, works with vitamins B12 and C to create and repair DNA and aid in red blood cell production. 

When these processes are impeded due to a deficiency, it can lead to a shortage of red blood cells, which in turn deprives body tissues of oxygen and leads to anemia. This deficiency can be caused by certain conditions that impact nutrient absorption, such as Crohn’s, celiac and kidney issues.

CanPrev’s B9 Folate Drops feature L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active form of this essential B vitamin. That means that it’s metabolically available for uptake, so these key nutrients can be readily used by your body.
