SunUp Liquid Folate Advantages
-
Best Active Ingredient
Most folates are supplied from lower cost global sources. This is typically a 'get-what-you-pay-for" type of supplement.
SunUp sources the highest quality and most technically advanced folate from Switzerland, called Arcofolin®. It costs a little more, but we believe the benefits are definitely worth it for this vital supplement.†

Absorbed 1-Hour Faster than Folic Acid
Most folate supplements are the "Folic Acid" pill type. Folic Acid is not the natural form of folate found in foods. Folic Acid must be converted by your body to folate, which isn't a perfect process leaving unmetabolized folates in the blood.
The most natural and bioavailable form of folate is called L-Methylfolate (or 5-MTHF). 5-MTHF is the same folate found in foods! Arcofolin® is a new type of 5-MTHF. It's absorbed 1-hour faster than Folic Acid and does not leave unmetabolized folates in the blood.†

Liquid Folate Advantage
Most folate supplements are sold in solid capsule/pill forms. The absorption of solid forms depend greatly upon digestive processes, food eaten, and other limitations imposed by our bodies.
Liquid Folate is best. It's absorbed quickly in the stomach, but liquid folate supplements typically aren't very stable. Arcofolin® is a new form of Methylfolate designed to be the most stable in liquid. It maintains its potency long after manufacture, ensuring it's the highest bioavailable form you can supplement.†

Why Supplement Folate?
Folate (vitamin B9) is vital to our bodies, supporting: Nerve/brain health, prenatal DNA expression, and our immunity. Our bodies do not produce folate, so it must be obtained from food. Humans were designed to extract folate from typical diets that we had thousands of years ago. Modern diets are different. Our DNA hasn't changed much in 20,000 years, but we certainly eat differently. This can cause a disconnect between what we eat and how our bodies obtain vital nutrients, like Folate. Studies have found a surprising percentage of our population may be folate deficient.
Fun Fact: Folate is so important to our health, our livers can store about 3 months worth should we come upon a good source during our hunting/gathering days.
Because of the lower amount of folate-rich foods in our diets, supplementing folate can have noticeable benefits. Supplementing folate may also benefit those on gluten-free or vegan diets with limited fortified wheat and animal proteins, or those that consume alcohol.†
