Patient One’s Q-Folate supplies 800mcg of Quatrefolic^®, the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5- methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), proven to have greater stability, solubility, and bioavailability over calcium salt forms of 5-MTHF and over supplementation with folic acid. Folic acid must be converted to its active form, 5-MTHF, which takes four separate biochemical reactions in the intestines and liver, in order for the body to absorb and use it. 

Approximately 60 percent of the U.S. population may have a genetic enzyme defect that makes it difficult for them to convert folic acid into active 5-MTHF, making this biologically active form of folate the preferred form of folate. 5-MTHF is best known for its ability to bypass metabolic steps in order to replenish plasma folate levels in individuals with conditions that can limit conversion or absorption of folic acid.
