Life Pro Folate 400µg 90 Caps

What is Folate?

Folate is a water-soluble essential vitamin, crucial for cell replication and a precursor to tetrahydrofolate, which is needed for the synthesis of amino acids, nucleoproteins, catecholamines, and for the formation of purines and pyrimidines. Unlike synthetic folic acid, found in supplements and fortified foods, folate is metabolised more efficiently by the body.

We primarily get folate from leafy green vegetables such as lettuce, broccoli, and spinach, though it can also be found in fortified cereals and meats.

Folate Deficiency: What can happen to us?

Folate deficiency can have serious health implications. The most common issues associated with a lack of folate include:

Megaloblastic Anaemia

Folate deficiency can result in megaloblastic anaemia, a condition where red blood cells do not form properly and are too large to carry oxygen efficiently. Symptoms include:

• Extreme fatigue
• Weakness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Pale skin

Pregnancy Complications

For pregnant women, a folate deficiency can increase the risk of neural tube defects in the foetus, which can lead to congenital abnormalities such as spina bifida, severely impacting the baby's quality of life.

Elevated Homocysteine

Low levels of folate in the body can cause an increase in homocysteine levels, raising the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.

Cognitive Decline

Folate is essential for optimal brain function. Its deficiency can lead to memory loss, confusion, and increase the risk of dementia or Alzheimer’s in older individuals.

Digestive Disorders

A deficiency in folate can also cause digestive problems such as diarrhoea, loss of appetite, and weight loss. In severe cases, it may affect the nervous system, causing tingling sensations in the hands and feet.
