  • Folic acid supplementation may mask the first symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency, such as anemia, while Quatrefolic® supplementation does not.
  • Humans are unable to produce and store folic acid, and folate deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies and has far-reaching negative health consequences at all stages of life.
