Pharmacological Properties

Prefolic is a complex of folic and citric acids, glutathione, mannitol, methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, and sodium hydroxide. It supplies the body with folic acid and serves as a catalyst for its recovery processes. The drug increases the energy and efficiency of sports activities.

It participates as a coenzyme in various enzymatic reactions, plays an important role in the exchange of amino acids, the biosynthesis of purine and pyrimidine bases – a component of nucleic acids. This determines the importance of vitamin B9 for the normal functioning of tissue growth and development. Vitamin B9 is also important for the processes of hematopoiesis and embryogenesis. It has a positive effect on the work of the digestive tract.

Lack of vitamin B9 inhibits the process of hematopoiesis. Its absence causes a special type of anemia, affecting the digestive system.

Vitamin B9 is involved in the synthesis of muscle proteins. In bodybuilding, the requirement for folic acid is higher than in a normal lifestyle.
