BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE FOLIC ACID — Our Optimized Folate formula promotes both cardiovascular and cognitive health with 1700 mcg of folate in the form of 5-MTHF (L-Methylfolate), the metabolically active form of folic acid.
WHY FOLATE? – Maintaining normal levels of homocysteine, a metabolic byproduct, is associated with heart and brain health. Folate, a B vitamin, helps maintain homocysteine levels already within normal range. However, not everyone can efficiently convert folate to its biologically active form. Our formula provides 5-MTHF, so you don't have to.
HEART & BRAIN-FRIENDLY NUTRIENT – Because folate helps inhibit excess homocysteine, folate supports healthy levels of this important cardiovascular biomarker. Since healthy homocysteine levels have been associated with cognitive health, getting enough folate is especially crucial for individuals who want to maintain brain health.

Description
Folate helps maintain homocysteine levels within the normal range, which promotes cardiovascular health. And it also supports neurotransmitter synthesis — which in turn helps maintain cognitive abilities. However, not everyone has sufficient activity of the enzyme required to convert folate to its biologically active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. That's why each vegetarian tablet of Optimized Folate provides 1,700 mcg of the bioactive 5-MTHF form of folate which is up to 7 times more bioavailable than ordinary folic acid
