TEST RESULTS Quatrefolic®
Study 1
The study involved groups, each of which received identical doses of Quatrefolic® and folic acid, respectively.
The study showed that:
• Quatrefolic® achieved over 3 times higher maximum concentration of active substance (Cmax ng / ml) 1 h after administration compared to folic acid (diagram 1)
• Quatrefolic® achieved over 9 times higher total bioavailability of the active substance (AUC8h ng / ml h) compared to folic acid (Figure 2).

Study 2
The study compared the bioavailability of Quatrefolic® with calcium L-methylfolate. High bioavailability of both forms has been demonstrated. However, for Quatrefolic®, the maximum concentration of active substance after administration (Cmax nmol / L) was 10% higher than for calcium L-methylfolate.
