Methylfolate (5-MTHF) is the coenzyme form of folate and is the most biologically active type of folate found in the human body. Unlike folic acid, it needs no enzymatic conversion and is therefore six times more bioavailable. Also, as many as 50% of people suffer from a genetic disorder that prevents them from adequately converting folate into 5-MTHF. Supplemental 5- MTHF quickly increases both blood and cellular levels. This high potency formula comes in a conveniently dosed lozenge that dissolves under the tongue. The lozenge ensures that methylfolate travels very quickly into the bloodstream.
Methylfolate helps support normal, healthy fetal neural development. It has shown to support cardiovascular health as well. Since it is able to cross the brain/blood barrier, it can aid in certain neurological metabolic processes. It helps to support mental focus and concentration. Methylfolate helps support healthy red blood cell formation, which is essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body.
