La vitamine B9 est une vitamine essentielle, pourtant 75% des femmes enceintes en France sont dans une situation d'insuffisance d'apport (étude ELFE).

L’importance de la vitamine B9

La supplémentation en acide folique augmente le statut maternel en folates.

Un faible statut en folates chez la mère augmente les risques d'apparition d'anomalies du tube neural chez le fœtus en développement.*

Les folates contribuent à :

La croissance des tissus maternels durant la grossesse.

La synthèse normale des acides aminés.

La formation normale du sang.

Au métabolisme normal de l’homocystéine.

Des fonctions psychologiques normales.

Au fonctionnement normal du système immunitaire.

Réduire la fatigue.

Jouent un rôle dans le processus de division cellulaire.

*L'effet bénéfique est obtenu par la consommation journalière de 400 μg d'acide folique, au moins un mois avant la conception et jusqu'à trois mois après la conception.

La malformation du tube neural telle que la spina bifida se forme dès le 28ème jour de grossesse.

La forme de vitamine B9

Nous utilisons la forme active de 5-méthyltétrahydrofolate (Quatrefolic®), directement assimilée par l’organisme (1).

(1) Conversion of calcium-l-methylfolate and (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid glucosamine salt into dietary folate equivalents. 2022.

Why choose Folates Mama

Vitamin B9 Quatrefolic®
Form directly absorbed by the body*
Methylated form, absorbable by everyone, even in cases of MTHFR gene mutation**
400 µg per daily dose
Vegetable capsule
Ideal for conception and pregnancy***

*Red blood cell folate concentrations increase more after supplementation with [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolate than with folic acid in women of childbearing age, 2006.

**Conversion of calcium-l-methylfolate and (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid glucosamine salt into dietary folate equivalents. 2022.

***The beneficial effect is obtained by the daily consumption of 400 μg of folic acid, at least one month before conception and up to three months after conception.

Vitamin B9, also known as folate, is essential from the very start of pregnancy. This vitamin for pregnant women contributes to the growth of maternal tissues and plays a key role in cell division. Insufficient folate intake in the mother increases the risk of neural tube defects in the foetus, such as spina bifida.

Folic acid is a synthetic form of vitamin B9 that must be converted by the body to become active. Folates (such as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate) are the biologically active form, directly absorbed by the body without any conversion step.

Quatrefolic® is a patented form of methylated vitamin B9 (5-MTHF), directly absorbed by the body. This form is effective even for people with a mutation of the MTHFR gene. In addition, it helps to increase folate status, at least as effectively as standard folic acid.

RACGP - MTHFR Genetic Testing: Controversy and Clinical Implications, 2016

Yes. The methylated form Quatrefolic® is absorbable even in cases of MTHFR gene mutation, which can limit the body's ability to convert folic acid into its active form.

It is recommended to start vitamin B9 supplementation at least one month before conception and to continue it during early pregnancy. The foetal neural tube forms very early, from the first weeks.

The recommended supplementation dose is 400 µg per day. One capsule of Folates Mama provides exactly this amount, in line with official recommendations.

Yes, Folates Mama can be taken during pregnancy. As with any food supplement, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare professional, particularly if you are under specific medical supervision.

If you are already taking a multivitamin supplement containing vitamin B9, it is important to check the total daily dose. If combining products, seek advice from a healthcare professional to avoid an unnecessary excessive intake.

The daily dose of our pregnancy vitamins (Baby Bump, Bump Essentials, Bump Powder) also provides an intake of 400 µg of folates in the form of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (Quatrefolic®). The upper safety limit during pregnancy is 1,000 µg per day.

Folates Mama is fully compatible with our range of fertility supplements: Cocooning+, Ovo+, Myo-powder.

If you are taking a supplement from another brand, it is important to check whether it contains vitamin B9 and at what dose. The upper safety limit for women who may become pregnant is 1,000 µg of folic acid per day.
