Life Extension Optimized Folate (l-methylfolate), 1000 Mcg, Vegetarian Tablets, 100-Count

Description

Optimized Folate (L-Methylfolate), 1000 mcg, 100 vegetarian TABLETS. Optimized
Folate (L-Methylfolate)1000 mcg, 100 vegetarian TABLETS. Folate is involved in
neurotransmitter synthesis and critical enzymatic reactions throughout the
body. By depleting excess homocysteine, folate benefits cardiovascular health
and nervous system function. Those who take ordinary folic acid supplements,
however, may not be experiencing its full spectrum of effects. This is because
once ingested, not everyone converts folate to its biologically active form
called 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). Research shows that in a large
proportion of the population, genetic enzyme deficiencies prevent the
conversion of folate to 5-MTHF, leaving many vulnerable to low blood folate
levels (and higher than desired homocysteine). A more useful approach is to
take the bioactive folate 5-MTHF directly, which has been declassified as a
drug and is now available as a dietary supplement. 5-MTHF has been shown to
dramatically raise blood serum folate levels compared with folic acid
supplementation. This bioactive folate is up to seven times more bioavailable
than folic acid. This greater bioavailability is especially important in
people who have a genetic enzyme deficiency since it requires no conversion to
become metabolically active
