Life Extension, High Potency Optimized Folate, 8.500 mcg DFE, 30 Tabletten

Our high-potency optimized folate is a cardiovascular supplement that also supports cognitive health and more with 8,500 mcg of metabolically active 5-MTHF.

Maintaining normal levels of homocysteine, a metabolic byproduct, is linked to both cardiovascular and cognitive health. Folate, a B vitamin, helps keep homocysteine levels within the 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.

5-MTHF-folate as a highly effective optimized folate is an ultra-biologically available form of vitamin B, commonly called folic acid.

Benefits of High Potency Optimized Folate

• Dosage with very high efficacy of bioavailable 5-MTHF folate
• Supports cardiovascular & cognitive health
• Helps maintain already healthy homocysteine levels within the normal range
• 5-MTHF-folate eliminates the blockage of enzyme inefficiency

For best health benefits

Folic acid is a common B vitamin supplement. Once consumed, your body is supposed to convert folic acid into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. However, research shows that many people lack adequate activity of the enzyme needed to do this. That's why we formulated high-potency optimized folate with 8,500 mcg of 5-MTHF to save your body the trouble.

Folic acid is the most common form of folate supplements. Once ingested, your body is supposed to convert folic acid, a synthetic form of folate, into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. However, research shows that many people lack sufficient activity of the enzyme required to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF. A more useful approach is to take 5-MTHF directly.

5-MTHF, Homocysteine & Cardiovascular Health

Folate helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range. By inhibiting excess homocysteine, folate supports healthy levels of this important biomarker for cardiovascular health. Some studies have shown that 5-MTHF is more bioavailable than folic acid.

5-MTHF, Homocysteine & Cognitive Health

The higher bioavailability of 5-MTHF is especially important for people who do not have sufficient activity of the enzyme required to convert folate into its biologically active form. Because people with elevated homocysteine levels are at higher risk for declining cognition, the increased efficiency of 5-MTHF in supporting healthy folate levels is especially critical for aging individuals.

For improved effect, take alone or with B12

The recommended daily allowance for folate for non-pregnant or non-breastfeeding adult women is 400 mcg per day, but this high-potency formula provides 8,500 mcg of this highly bioavailable form of folate. Take 5-MTHF folate with methylcobalamin (the active form of vitamin B12), vitamin B6, and/or riboflavin to reap even greater health benefits.
