What does it do?

Polynate Calcium is an active form derivative of folic acid, primarily used to reduce toxicity occurring during cancer treatment. It helps to alleviate the side effects of chemotherapy as a detoxifying agent.

This ingredient supports normal cell function by assisting in the metabolism of folic acid in the body. When chemotherapy drugs interfere with folic acid metabolism, Polynate Calcium compensates for this, reducing cell damage.
