Life Extension, Optimized Folate, 1000 mcg - 100 Veggie Tabs

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

• Dietary Supplement
• L-Methylfolate
• Metabolically Active Form of Folic Acid
• Non-GMO
• Supports Cardiovascular Health
• Supports Neurotransmitter Synthesis and Critical Enzyme Reactions
• Maintains Healthy Homocysteine Levels

Folate is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and critical enzymatic reactions throughout the body. By depleting excess homocysteine, folate benefits cardiovascular health and nervous system function.

Those who take ordinary folate supplements, however, may not be experiencing its full spectrum of effects. This is because once ingested, not everyone converts folate to its biologically active form called 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). 

People with elevated homocysteine levels have a greater risk of cognitive decline. Unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, which is especially important for people with cognitive difficulties to enhance the synthesis of acetylcholine in the brain - the neurotransmitter associated with memory.

Studies also show that the effectiveness of 5-MTHF can be further enhanced by co-supplementing with methylcobalamin (the active form of vitamin B12), vitamin B6, and riboflavin.
