L-Methylfolate 10 Milligrams 90 caps Metabolic Maintenance

​Folic acid, the most common form of folate in supplements and fortified foods, requires the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) to be converted to L-methylfolate, the activated form of folate used by the body for many biochemical reactions. About half of the population have genetic variations that reduce the ability of the MTHFR enzyme to make this conversion. For this population, L-methylfolate supplementation is far more effective in providing this form of folate.

Overview:     

L-methylfolate is the activated form of folate (vitamin B-9) ready to be used by the body for many biochemical reactions. Unlike folic acid, the synthetic form of folate found in most supplements and fortified foods, L-methylfolate does not require conversion by the MTHFR enzyme, a function that is impaired by genetic variations present in about half the population. The supplement is not exclusively for those with an MTHFR mutation however, those without the inhibitory genetic defect can absorb and use L-methylfolate as well.

Low folate status is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies, and that statistic inc
