Introduction
Folic acid is a well known nutrient that is used in many essential biological processes in our bodies; like cell division, methylation and DNA gene regulation & converting homocysteine to methionine. (1)

The history of folic acid started in 1931 as 1st generation folic acid. In 1945 the 2nd generation folic acid came to the food supplement market and it stayed for long until 1995 when the 3rd generation folic acid was developed. (1)

The latest 4th generation folic acid entered the market during 2011 and made the revolution in folic acid supplementation. (1)

What is Novel about More-Folic®?
MORE-FOLIC® has the 4th generation folic acid “Quatrefolic” which is NBT awarded as a novel nutrient. (1)

MORE-FOLIC® contains the active form 5-methyltetrahydrofolate glucosamine salt which has high water solubility & long standing stability compared to other formulations where folic acid has to be activated first, and then the body can get the benefit out of it. (1,2)
