Methylfolate (5-MTHF) is the most biologically active form of folate in the human body. Unlike folic acid, it needs no enzymatic conversion within the body and is therefore six times more bioavailable.
Many people suffer from a genetic disorder that prevents them from adequately converting folate into 5-MTHF. Since it does not require conversion, supplemental 5-MTHF increases both blood and cellular levels of this critical nutrient.
In addition to it's well-known role in supporting healthy fetal neural development, 5-MTHF is important in the synthesis of acetylcoline, an important neurotransmitter. 5-MTHF also supports a healthy cardiovascular systemby helping to keep homocysteine levels within the normal range. Homocysteine is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
