BeOrganic Folian is a dietary supplement providing folates from organic spinach leaf extract. The supplement is prepared using certified organic raw material. The preparation is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Folates are a large group of biologically active compounds, including folacin and folic acid. They can be easily found in food. Green vegetables (spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts, lettuce) and chicken eggs or liver are a good source of them. Unfortunately, improper storage and heat treatment of food results in large losses of folates, so it is not so easy to meet its recommended daily intake just from dietary sources.
Natural source of folates
The composition of the preparation is based on a high-quality extract from spinach leaves. It is standardized up to 10% of the folates. For its preparation, spinach that meets the strict criteria of organic food was used, and the extraction process itself is carried out using only natural, plant-based solvents.
It is worth noting that folates are not the only valuable compounds that occur in spinach. The plant belongs to a group of so-called superfoods, and its leaves are a treasury of vitamins, minerals and other valuable nutrients.
Support for the cardiovascular system
Insufficient amount of folates in the diet increases atherosclerosis development. Homocysteine plays an important role in the pathophysiology of this disease. Homocysteine is a by-product of a metabolic process called methylation, which normally does not accumulate in the body because it is converted to methionine and further to cysteine. Folates are also involved in this process, so their deficiency may result in a pathological build-up of homocysteine, which can negatively impact cardiovascular health.
Promotion of proper blood production
Folates participate in the formation and development of red blood cells. Insufficient supply of these compounds, as well as vitamin B12 deficiency, is a risk factor for megaloblastic anaemia. This disease is characterized by the occurrence of immature red blood cells of abnormal size in the circulatory system and in some cases, it can be eliminated with folic acid.
To sum up, BeOrganic Folian provides us with a high dose of natural, easily absorbed folates in the form of organic spinach leaf extract. It is a valuable addition to the diet and prevents folate deficiency.
