Nurturing New Life with Folate begins with understanding the science behind this essential nutrient and how ingredient choices can support early development. In the latest Voices of Science video, Lauren Eisen, Senior Business Development Manager at Balchem Human Nutrition and Health, shares insights into folate’s role in early life nutrition and the thinking behind Optifolin+®. 

Why is folate important in early life nutrition? 

Folate is involved in key biological processes such as cell division and normal growth. During pregnancy and early development, these processes are especially important, making folate a critical nutrient to consider in maternal and prenatal nutrition strategies. 

Does the form of folate matter? 

Different forms of folate can vary in stability and bioavailability. These differences may influence how folate performs in formulations and how it is utilized in the body. Selecting the right form of folate is an important consideration for science-driven product development.
