Folate & Choline

Good Folate (Quatrefolic®) and Choline (Vitacholine®) status are associated with higher birth weight, improved placental function and weight, and fewer pre term-births.

Folic acid use reduced occurrence of NTD (Neural Tube Defects) by 50 to 70%.

Prenatal use of Folic Acid leads to lifelong improvement of visuospatial memory in children born of the pregnancy.

Supplementation with Choline (Vitacholine®) during infancy and childhood leads to improved lifelong memory.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA Plus) For brain and eye development

DHA is the predominant fatty acid in the central nervous system and found in the structural walls of brain cells. Amazingly, the fetal brain is made up of 60% fats of which 40% is DHA. There is a large increase in DHA uptake by the fetus and a corresponding increase in cerebral DHA content during the last trimester of pregnancy and the first post natal months. At birth the baby’s brain weight is about 70% of an adult’s brain weight; 15% of brain growth occurs during infancy and the pre-school years.

Vitamin B12

Is important in preventing neural tube and other neurological defects in infants. People with vitamin B12 deficiency are at risk for nerve damage, anemia and degeneration of the spinal cord. Relatively mild deficiency can affect brain functions and the nervous system, and even nerve damage may develop into permanent debilitation if left untreated.

13 symptoms of B12 deficiency

• Anemia

• Fatigue and muscle cramps

• Bleeding gums and bruising

• Depression

• Tingling and numbness in extremities

• Stunted growth and development in children

• Abdominal pain

• Appetite loss and weight loss

• Tender or sore tongue

• Eczema

• Rapid heartbeat

• Hair loss

• Mental confusion or forgetfulness

Why FolliQ4® Materna

FolliQ4® Materna provides an innovative supplement which delivers the essential nutrients for pregnancy including the recommended level of the 4th Generation Folate (Quatrefolic^®), Vitamin B12, Choline (VitaCholine^®) , and Omega 3 (EPA/DHA). Studies have shown that low dietary intake of folate increases the risk of birth defects. This supplement is an excellent source of unique ingredients that contribute to normal development of the fetus.
