Folate
L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF)
L-5-MTHF is the biologically active form of folate, also known as vitamin B9. It is the predominant type of folate found naturally in the body and food sources.
L-5-MTHF plays a crucial role in various metabolic processes, including DNA synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and the methylation cycle, making it essential for overall health and well-being.
The Optimal Form of Folate
Did you know? Folate is more bioavailable than folic acid. Folic Acid is synthetic and requires conversion from your body to become active.
In food, “folate” refers to a family of more than 100 natural compounds with vitamin B9 activity. But in your body, both food folates and folic acid need to be converted to the active form, known as L-5-MTHF. 5-MTHF is more bioavailable than folic acid because it is the metabolically active form and in turn can participate directly in one carbon metabolism.
