Vitamin B9: Which form to choose and why?

Among the solutions that Nurilia offers you, some may seem complicated at first glance. This is the case of vitamin B9. Available in several forms such as standard synthetic folic acid or 5-MTHF. But what does it mean and which one is recommended?

What is Vitamin B9?

La vitamin B9 or folic acid, plays a vital role in your body. Possessing many beneficial effects for your metabolism, it participates in the production of your genetic material (DNA) and is essential in the process of DNA methylation. In the field of fertility, folic acid has antioxidant action protecting DNA in gametes. Also, it contributes to the development of your child's nervous system during pregnancy.

Despite its vital importance for you and your child, folic acid may encounter difficulties in your body. When you consume classic synthetic folic acid, it will not be used effectively by your body. This problem is aggravated in the event of a MTHFR mutation, a enzyme converting folic acid into 5-MTHF.

How to get around this? Classical folic acid has an already bioactive derivative form called 5-MTHF (methylated folic acid), which circumvents the problems encountered by the classic vitamin B9. Nurilia Laboratory uses 5-MTHF instead of classic folic acid in all its products, Nurifolic (€8.90 per month) being 5-MTHF methylated folic acid without additions.

What is methylated folic acid, or 5-MTHF?

You must first know that the 5-MTHF is the transformation of folic acid when it is converted by the body and made bioactive. That is to say, in this form, its effectiveness is all the greater.  

Another benefit of 5-MTHF is its bioavailability. She will make herself more easily available for the various reactions where she will be called upon.

Its use against oxidative stress is paramount. In addition to helping the good quality of DNA in sex cells, 5-MTHF will promote the production of antioxidants, limiting the deleterious effects of molecules induced by oxidative stress. Thus, where classic folic acid was blocked, 5-MTHF provides all the elements necessary for good fertility and a peaceful pregnancy.
