L-methylfolate
Gluten-free
Active metabolic form of folic acid
Dietary supplement
Non-GMO: Non GMO LE Certified
Our optimized high-potency folate is a supplement for supporting cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and more. It contains 8500 mcg of the active metabolic form, 5-MTHF.
Maintaining normal levels of homocysteine, a metabolic by-product, is associated with cardiovascular and cognitive health. Folate, a B vitamin, helps maintain normal homocysteine levels that are already within the normal range. However, not every body can efficiently convert folate into its biologically active form. Our formula contains 5-MTHF, so you don’t have to worry about that.
5-MTHF folate is a high-potency optimized folate in an ultra-bioavailable form of the B vitamin known as folic acid.
Benefits of high-potency optimized folate
High-potency dose of bioavailable 5-MTHF folate
Supports cardiovascular health and cognitive function
Helps maintain homocysteine levels that are already within the normal range
5-MTHF folate bypasses inefficient enzymes
For maximum health benefits
Folic acid is a common B vitamin supplement. After folic acid is ingested, the body must convert it into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. But research shows that many people lack sufficient activity of the enzyme responsible for this. That’s why we developed a high-potency folic acid supplement that contains 8500 mcg of 5-MTHF, so your body doesn’t have to do the work.
Folic acid is the most common supplemental form of folate. After ingesting folic acid, the synthetic form of folate, the body must convert it into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. But studies show that many people lack sufficient enzyme activity to convert folic acid into 5-MTHF. It is much more effective to take 5-MTHF directly.
5-MTHF, homocysteine, and cardiovascular health
Folate helps maintain normal homocysteine levels that are already within the normal range. By helping to slow the effects of excess homocysteine, folate supports normal levels of this important biomarker of cardiovascular health. Individual studies have shown that 5-MTHF has higher bioavailability than folic acid.
5-MTHF, homocysteine, and cognitive health
The higher bioavailability of 5-MTHF is especially beneficial for people who do not have sufficient enzyme activity needed to convert folic acid into its biologically active form. Since people with elevated homocysteine levels have a higher risk of cognitive decline, the enhanced effectiveness of 5-MTHF is particularly important for maintaining normal folate levels in older adults.
Take alone or with vitamin B12 for enhanced effect
The recommended daily intake of folate for adults who are not pregnant or breastfeeding is 400 mcg per day. However, this high-potency formula provides 8500 mcg of this highly bioavailable form of folate. For best results, take 5-MTHF folate with methylcobalamin (the active form of vitamin B12), vitamin B6, and riboflavin.
