Description
Active folic acid (ʟ‑5‑methyltetrahydrofolate) is critican for prenatal health, embryonic nervous-system development, and protection from neural-tube deficiency.
ʟ‑5‑Methyltetrahydrofolate helps reduce the risk of neural-tube defects when taken prior to conception and during early pregnancy. It also helps with body-tissue growth and renewal; in addition, it enables the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This makes it possible for cells to easily assimilate and use nutrients for energy creation within their mitochondria (cellular power plants). Supplementing with active folic acid can also prove beneficial for many people with impaired function of the enzyme that transforms regular folic acid to this active form the body easily recognizes and exploits. Our formula includes vitamins B12 and B6 in their premium bioactive forms, methylcobalamin and pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (P5P). These vitamins serve as cofactors for metabolic activity throughout the body.
New Roots Herbal’s Active Folic Acid is definitely a critical supplement for a healthy pregnancy, along with many other promising therapeutic applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is New Roots Herbal, and where is it made?
New Roots Herbal is a Canadian natural health products company founded in 1985 by Peter Wilkes in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec. With over 400 products ranging from probiotics and enzymes to herbal extracts and essential fatty acids, the brand is manufactured entirely in Canada at its cGMP-certified Quebec facility. The company was established with a mission to create safe, effective, and science-grounded natural remedies for improved global health.
What is New Roots Herbal and is it a trustworthy Canadian supplement brand?
New Roots Herbal is a 100% Canadian family-owned supplement company founded in 1985 by Peter Wilkes in Quebec, starting with probiotics and growing into one of Canada's leading natural health product manufacturers. Its 127,000 sq. ft. cGMP-certified facility in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, houses an ISO 17025-accredited in-house laboratory staffed by 22 scientists, investing over 600 hours per week in raw material and product testing for identity, purity, and potency. The company has been advancing Canadian supplement science for over 40 years.
What makes New Roots Herbal different from other Canadian supplement brands?
The defining differentiator is New Roots Herbal's in-house ISO 17025-accredited laboratory, independently certified since 2014. ISO 17025 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories and goes beyond GMP manufacturing compliance to formally certify the competency of the testing laboratory itself. The facility is staffed by 22 scientists holding MSc or BSc degrees from Canadian and European universities, and every product is verified on-site for identity, purity, and potency. This level of internal laboratory infrastructure is rare among supplement brands, which typically rely on external contract labs for quality testing.
How is New Roots Herbal different from other Canadian natural health brands?
New Roots Herbal operates an ISO 17025-accredited internal laboratory — the same accreditation standard used by government reference labs and pharmaceutical QC facilities — rather than outsourcing testing to third parties. With 22 scientists and over 600 hours per week of testing, its analytical depth is closer to a mid-size pharmaceutical company than a typical supplement maker. Founded specifically around probiotics in 1985, it was developing probiotic products nearly two decades before probiotics became a mainstream supplement category in Canada, giving it a depth of formulation experience few competitors can match.
