How it works
Introducing our advanced folate supplement, featuring Metafolin® L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), the active, bioavailable form of folate your body needs for optimal health. L-5-MTHF is a naturally occurring, easily metabolized version of folate, which means it can be readily utilized by your body without requiring additional conversion. This makes it an ideal choice for individuals looking to ensure they are getting the maximum benefits of folate, especially those who may have genetic variations that impact the conversion process.
Unlike synthetic folic acid, L-5-MTHF bypasses the need for activation by the enzymes dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). These enzymes are involved in converting folic acid into its active form, but variations in these enzymes can lead to inefficient conversion in some individuals. This makes L-5-MTHF the more reliable option, ensuring that your body gets the folate it needs to support key functions such as DNA synthesis, cell division, and overall cellular health.
Folate is essential for everyone, but it’s particularly crucial during periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy or adolescence, and for supporting heart health, immune function, and mental well-being. By choosing our Metafolin® L-5-MTHF supplement, you’re ensuring that your body is receiving this important nutrient in its most effective form. This can lead to improved energy levels, better mood, and a reduction in the risk of birth defects when taken during pregnancy.
Incorporating Metafolin® L-5-MTHF into your daily routine can provide peace of mind, knowing that you’re supporting your health with a form of folate that is both more efficient and bioavailable than conventional folic acid supplements. Whether you’re managing your health proactively or addressing specific needs, L-5-MTHF is the superior choice for those seeking the best possible folate supplement.
