When you consume folic acid, your body must convert it into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. However, research shows that in many people the enzyme is not activated enough to convert folate. That's why we've created 8,500 mcg of 5-MTHF, an optimized, high-potency folic acid that your body doesn't have to convert. Folic acid is the most common form of folic acid supplements. When you consume folic acid, your body must convert the synthetic form of folic acid into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. However, research shows that many people do not have the enzyme activated enough to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF. Therefore, consuming 5-MTHF directly is more effective. 5-MTHF, Homocysteine, and Cardiovascular HealthFolic acid helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels that are already in the normal range. By curbing excess homocysteine, folic acid helps maintain healthy levels of this important cardiovascular health biomarker. And some studies have shown that 5-MTHF is more bioavailable than folic acid. 5-MTHF, Homocysteine, and Cognitive HealthFor people whose enzymes are not activated enough to convert folate to its bioactive form, 5-MTHF The higher bioavailability of Because people with higher homocysteine levels are at greater risk for cognitive decline, the benefits of higher 5-MTHF, which helps maintain healthy folate levels, are especially important for older adults. Take alone or with B12 for higher effectiveness. For adults who are not pregnant or lactating, the RDA for folic acid is 400 mcg per day, but this high-potency formula provides 8,500 mcg of folic acid in a highly bioavailable form.
