Life Extension Optimized Folate 1700 mcg DFE

L-methylfolate (5-MTHF) is the bioactive form of vitamin B9 that the body uses directly, without any further enzymatic conversions. Folate contributes to normal blood formation, normal homocysteine metabolism, normal psychological function, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Suitable for adults who want to supplement folate in an active, highly available form. Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO.
Life Extension Optimized Folate 1700 mcg DFE
Optimized Folate delivers vitamin B9 in the form of L-methylfolate (5-MTHF) — a bioactive form of folate that the body uses directly. Each tablet provides 1,700mcg DFE, which corresponds to 1,000mcg of L-methylfolate in one daily dose. L-methylfolate is the same form that the body normally converts folate from food into. In this product, it is ready for immediate use after absorption.
Many folate supplements use folic acid — a synthetic form of vitamin B9 that the body must first convert into the active 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), which is how folate actually works in the body. This conversion involves several enzymatic steps. Optimized Folate bypasses this process: it provides folate already in the form of 5-MTHF (L-methylfolate), which the body can use immediately after absorption.
