Dietary Supplement
Vitamin B9, or folic acid, is one of the B vitamins, classified as “water-soluble.” It is not stored by the body, hence the crucial importance of ensuring a regular intake through diet or supplementation.
Vitamin B9 is mainly found in green leafy vegetables, hence its name “folic,” derived from the Latin “folium,” meaning “leaf.” Lettuce and spinach are exceptional sources of this vitamin. It is also found in significant quantities in cereals, certain cheeses, and in the livers of animals such as lamb, veal, and poultry.
Vitamin B9 plays an essential role in the folate cycle, which is a biological process crucial for many bodily functions. The folate cycle is a process in which vitamin B9 is converted into various active forms that can be used by the body. As a water-soluble vitamin, it is rapidly eliminated by the kidneys and therefore presents a low risk of overdose. It is therefore particularly crucial during periods such as pregnancy. It contributes to the normal growth of maternal tissues from conception and during pregnancy, as well as to normal homocysteine metabolism. It is involved in DNA synthesis, cell division, red blood cell formation, and normal nervous system function.
A vitamin B9 deficiency can have significant health consequences. In pregnant women, a deficiency increases the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus. However, modern diets, often depleted of essential nutrients, sometimes make adequate intake difficult to achieve.
Why choose PHYSIOMANCE® Vitamin B9?
PHYSIOMANCE® Vitamin B9 is a single-ingredient formula with a highly concentrated formula, providing 600 µg of vitamin B9 per capsule. The selection of bioavailable ingredients ensures optimal absorption and enhanced effectiveness.
Vitamin B9 was selected in its biologically active coenzyme form: calcium L-methylfolate, which is directly assimilated by the body, without prior enzymatic transformation, unlike folic acid. This innovative form is particularly recommended to overcome a mutation (polymorphism) of the methyltetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) that affects up to 40% of the population. The enzyme’s activity is impaired, reducing its ability to metabolize folic acid into active folate. Thanks to its high tolerance and excellent stability, PHYSIOMANCE® Vitamin B9 is suitable for all situations requiring a safe and effective supply of folate, including preconception, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or chronic fatigue.
As part of our commitment to quality and naturalness, PHYSIOMANCE® Vitamin B9 has been packaged in 100% plant-based capsules, making it suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets. This choice guarantees an approach that perfectly meets your requirements for quality and effectiveness.
