What it is used for: Folic Acid Supplements.
Indications as listed by the manufacturer: During pregnancy and lactation • Pregnant women for prevention of neural tube defect in babies • As a dietary supplement in adults and older people • To prevent risk of spontaneous abortions • In hyperhomocysteinemia • Folate deficiency caused by some medicines (e.g. those used to treat epilepsy such as phenytoin, phenobarbital and primidone) • Folate deficiency caused by long-term red blood cell damage or kidney dialysis • In Depression, Cognitive impairment, Dementia and Alzheimer's disease .
How it works: The mechanism of action of Quatrefolic is related to the action of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active part of the proprietary ingredient. 5-methyltetrahydrofolate derives from tetrahydrofolic acid, through a series of metabolic reactions. Tetrahydrofolic acid acts as a coenzyme in several vital metabolic reactions participating in the transfer as acceptors and donors of various one-carbon fragments, involved in the biosynthesis of nucleotides purines and pyrimidines and in the metabolism of several important amino acids. In concern with vitamin B12, folate coenzymes allow the conversion of the amino acid homocysteine to methionine, the lack of this conversion has been associated with various pathologies and diseases. Conversion of tetrahydrofolic acid to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate is mediated by the action of the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. Supplementation with 5-methyltetrahydrofolate might be preferable to folic acid, being it is immediately available to react with homocysteine to avoid the possibility of hyperhomocysteinaemia.

Rider was on time and the item was properly bubble-wrapped. No complaints.
Arrived in a plain bag, nothing written on the outside. Good for something you would rather not advertise.
The product is genuine but did not suit me personally. Customer service handled the return without any argument.
Been using this for a few months now. Ordering here is cheaper than my local shop and the packing is always careful.
Second time ordering. Batch and expiry were printed clearly and matched what the site listed.
Fine quality, wrong choice on my part — I should have asked the pharmacist first about the strength.
