Brand IP Statement(s) re: (c), (TM), (SM): Quatrefolic is a registered trademark of Gnosis S.p.A. and protected by U.S. Patent 7,947,662.
FDA Disclaimer Statement: *This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Formula re: Contains: This product utilizes a patented form of 5-MTHF with superior bioavailability.
Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions: SUGGESTED USAGE: Take 1 tablet daily with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
All Other Content: HOW IT WORKS: Folate consumed in the diet or from supplements must be converted to its active form, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), to be used by the body. This is a multi-step biochemical process that, in some circumstances, may not be efficient enough to meet the body's needs. In addition, unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF can penetrate the blood-brain barrier.
Precautions re: All Other: CAUTIONS/INTERACTIONS: For adults only. The elderly and individuals with conditions that may impair vitamin B-12 absorption should frequently check vitamin B-12 status when taking this product as high-dose folic acid may mask vitamin B-12 deficiency.
