When it comes to vitamins, B9 (folate) is a must-have.

It helps your body make healthy cells, supports hair growth, and is especially important for fertility and pregnancy. But did you know there are two different types? 

Most supplements use folic acid, a synthetic (man-made) version of vitamin B9. But at GLOWWA, we choose folate, the natural bioactive form. Here's why folate is the better choice.

Folic Acid vs. Folate: What's the Difference?

Folic Acid (Synthetic Form of B9) - Found in many supplements and fortified foods.

• Needs to be converted in the body before it can be used. 
• Some people (up to 40% of the population) struggle to process it properly due to a common genetic variation (MTHFR gene mutation).
• Unprocessed folic acid can build up in the blood, which may cause health issues over time. 

Why Folate is Better for Hair, Health, and Hormones

• More Effective Absorption - Folate is ready to use, while folic acid needs to go through extra steps to be useful.
• Better for Those with MTHFR Gene Mutation - Many people can't properly process folic acid, making folate the safer and smarter choice.
• Supports Hair Growth - Folate plays a role in healthy cell renewal, which is essential for strong, growing hair.
• Essential for Pregnancy & Fertility - Helps prevent birth defects and supports reproductive health.
• Supports Energy & Mood - Folate helps your body create neurotransmitters (like serotonin), which can improve mood and energy levels.

By choosing folate over folic acid, we ensure our products help boost hair growth, support hormone health, and improve overall wellness - without the risks that come with synthetic ingredients. 

That's why GLOWWA uses only high-quality, science-backed ingredients that truly make a difference.

When it comes to folate vs. folic acid, the choice is clear: folate wins every time!
