What is it

Generic Folvite is a supplement of folic acid, which is the synthetic version of naturally occurring folate. Folate, which is one of the vitamins of the B complex (vitamin B9), can be found in some foods. In some cases it is necessary to take folic acid supplements in addition to folate from food. Low folate levels can lead to some forms of anemia and in pregnant women they increase the risk of spinal birth defects of the baby.

Classification and Mechanism of Action

Generic Folvite consists of folic acid, whose active form is also called methylfolate or levomefolate. This organic compound is found in yeast, liver and other natural sources. In some cases it needs to be supplemented, especially in case of pregnancy, poor diet and alcoholism. Folic acid is necessary for several processes in the body, such as metabolism of amino acids and histidine and synthesis of purine and thymidylates.
