5-Methyl Folate
1,000 mcg
- Metabolically Active Folate*
- Superior Bioavailability
How it Works
Folate consumed in the diet or from supplements must be converted to its active form, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), to be used by the body. This is a multi-step biochemical process that, in some circumstances, may not be efficient enough to meet the body's needs. In addition, unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF can penetrate the blood-brain barrier. This product utilizes a patented form of 5-MTHF with superior bioavailability.

Take 1 tablet daily with a meal, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
