Pure Encapsulations Folate 1000 90 Veggie Caps

With Metafolin L-5-MTHF

Biologically active folate formula

An extensive body of evidence indicates that adequate folate intake may offer significant cellular and neural benefits, as well as contribute to energy production. Folate is provided in this formula as Metafolin, the naturally occurring universally processed form of folate. Metafolin is chemically identical to the active folate compound found naturally in foods, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). Clinical evidence indicates that the bioavailability of Metafolin is superior to that of folic acid. Adequate folate status is critical for red blood cell formation and protein metabolism. At the molecular level, the main function of folate is to donate methyl groups in key biochemical reactions. In particular, this B vitamin is essential for proper neural and cellular development of the fetal central nervous system. Research demonstrates that daily supplementation with at least 400 mcg of folate reduces the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily before conception and during early gestation.
