Pure Encapsulations MethylAssist 90 Veggie Caps

With Metafolin L-5-MTHF

MethylAssist provides activated B vitamins, including Metafolin L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), to promote nutrient metabolism. Activated B vitamins are particularly important for providing methyl groups involved in the methylation cycle. Methylation involves the transfer of a methyl group (CH3) from one molecule to another. Vitamin B12 and folate are required by the enzyme that produces methionine. Folate is provided in this formula as Metafolin, the naturally occurring, universally utilizable form of folate. Metafolin is chemically identical to the active form of folate, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). L-5-MTHF is the predominant, naturally occurring form of folate in food. By bypassing several enzymatic activation steps, it is directly usable by the body and delivers all the benefits of folic acid regardless of functional or genetic variations. In addition, these B vitamins also contribute to the formation of red blood cells. MethylAssist also includes benfotiamine, a synthetic derivative of thiamine reported to have better bioavailability than thiamine itself.

• Contributes to nutrient metabolism.
