Folic Acid - Addict Sport Nutrition

With its Folic Acid , the Addict Sport Nutrition brand offers a very specific health-oriented food supplement aimed at both athletes and less active people.

Vitamin B9 is a water-soluble vitamin that is part of the B vitamin complex. It is found in many plant and animal foods, such as leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, legumes, nuts, liver, and fortified cereals. After ingestion, folic acid is absorbed in the small intestine and transported to the liver, where it is converted to its active forms. These active forms are then distributed throughout the body via the blood to participate in various biochemical processes .

Due to its sensitivity to cooking and storage, dietary intake of vitamin B9 can sometimes be insufficient , hence the benefit of good supplementation .

To manufacture its Folic Acid, Addict Sport Nutrition used chemical synthesis in the laboratory, where precursors such as pteroic acid and glutamic acid are used to produce folic acid. Then, the synthesized compound undergoes rigorous purification to remove impurities and obtain the purest possible substance. Then, the folic acid is formulated by mixing it with excipients to be put into capsules. Finally, this product is packaged in a packaging respecting the strict quality and safety standards established for food supplements.
