About the product
Description
Swanson Folate supplies folate as Quatrefolic, a reduced form (5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid), unlike the plain folic acid in the OstroVit tablets. One capsule gives 400 µg, which is 200 % of the NRV, and a pack of 30 capsules lasts 30 days. The shell is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material, brown rice flour is the other ingredient, and magnesium salts of fatty acids with silicon dioxide act as anti-caking agents. The label gives one capsule a day and warns against exceeding the recommended portion.
