Why CONALT® Folate?
CONALT® Folate features 6S-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid Glucosamine Salt (Quatrefolic), a folate form with enhanced bioavailability. Clinical studies highlight its potential to address folate deficiency and support methylation processes. Quatrefolic is developed using innovative formulation technology, offering rapid absorption and stability. One example is the study “Efficacy of (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate in the treatment of folate deficiency: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study” (Kelley et al., 2014).
Product Description
Folat ((6s)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic Acid Glucosamine)
- Folate is essential for DNA and RNA synthesis, which is necessary for cell growth and division. It is a critical component for cellular metabolism and the integrity of genetic material. Insufficient folate intake can disrupt cell division, leading to irregular cellular functions.
- Folate plays an important role in the production of red blood cells, being vital for the prevention of megaloblastic anemia. A deficiency in folate can result in the production of abnormally large and insufficient numbers of red blood cells. This condition can reduce oxygen-carrying capacity, leading to feelings of fatigue and weakness.
- Folate is crucial in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters significantly influence mood and emotional balance. Moreover, folate deficiency can lead to impairments in cognitive functions and memory. Adequate folate intake supports mental health and cognitive performance.
- Folate helps maintain heart health by lowering homocysteine levels. Elevated homocysteine levels can increase the risk of heart diseases and vascular occlusions. Folate is necessary for the methylation of homocysteine, thus improving vascular health.
- Folate is involved in the synthesis of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. It is essential for DNA synthesis and repair, especially during periods of rapid cell division, such as pregnancy, where sufficient folate intake is crucial.
- Folate is critical for fetal development during pregnancy, particularly in preventing neural tube defects (NTDs). Adequate folate intake is necessary for the healthy development of the fetus’s brain and spinal cord. Increasing folate intake during pregnancy is extremely important for the health of the baby.
- Folate plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, supporting energy production. Sufficient folate intake can enhance the body’s energy levels, reducing feelings of fatigue.
- Folate directly influences the synthesis of serotonin and other neurotransmitters that affect mood. A deficiency in folate can increase the risk of depression and anxiety. Adequate folate intake supports emotional balance, improving mental health.

Quatrefolic (Glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate), often referred to as glucosamine 5-MTHF or simply as 5-MTHF, is a specific form of folate (vitamin B9).
5-MTHF is the active and methylated form of folate, which means it can be readily utilized by the body without requiring additional conversion steps. This form of folate is important for various metabolic processes, including DNA synthesis, cell division, and the production of neurotransmitters.
