This\u003cbr\u003eformula provides folate in the bioidentical form as\u003cbr\u003e5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). This is the\u003cbr\u003eactive circulating form of folate found in the body\u003cbr\u003eand one of the several forms found in food. This\u003cbr\u003eproduct features the patented 5-MTHF, Quatrefolic®.\u003cbr\u003eThis innovative form of folate has demonstrated\u003cbr\u003ehigh bioavailability, solubility, and long-lasting\u003cbr\u003estability. Designs for Health oers a 1000 mcg\u003cbr\u003eoption of L-5-MTHF to support individual\u003cbr\u003esupplementation needs.\u003cbr\u003eFolate plays many key roles in the body, and folate\u003cbr\u003edeficiency and insuciency may increase the risk of\u003cbr\u003eneural tube defects, and conditions associated with \u003cbr\u003eelevated homocysteine. Folate may also mask vitamin\u003cbr\u003eB12 deficiency and associated anemia. Folic acid is the\u003cbr\u003ecommon synthetic form of folate found in supplements\u003cbr\u003eand food fortification, but it must undergo several\u003cbr\u003esteps to become 5-MTHF, the form of folate involved\u003cbr\u003ein body processes. If these do not properly occur, then\u003cbr\u003efolic acid may accumulate in the blood that could\u003cbr\u003epotentially negatively impact health. Those with\u003cbr\u003ecertain genetic variations may have a harder time\u003cbr\u003econverting folic acid into 5-MTHF, the form of folate\u003cbr\u003ethat the body requires for the methylation cycle to\u003cbr\u003ework eciently. Methylation is a simple biochemical\u003cbr\u003eprocess that turns biological switches on and o for\u003cbr\u003evarious systems in the body. When the methylation\u003cbr\u003ecycle is working optimally, it helps support normal\u003cbr\u003ecardiovascular, neurological, detoxification, and\u003cbr\u003ereproductive functions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Helps to form red blood cells\u003cbr\u003e• Helps to prevent folate deficiency\u003cbr\u003e• Helps to support the body's ability to metabolize\u003cbr\u003enutrients\u003cbr\u003e• Helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects\u003cbr\u003ewhen taken daily at least three months prior to\u003cbr\u003ebecoming pregnant and during early pregnancy\u003cbr\u003e• Helps to support normal early fetal development\u003cbr\u003e(brain and spinal cord)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Bioactive folate as Quatrefolic®\u003cbr\u003e[6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolate to support folate\u003cbr\u003estatus and promote normal methylation\u003cbr\u003e• Patented form of folate using a glucosamine salt\u003cbr\u003erather than calcium salt for increased bioavailability\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Dose\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdults: Take 1 capsule per day, or as directed by your\u003cbr\u003ehealth care practitioner.
