L-5-MTHF by Designs for Health
L-5-MTHF by Designs for Health offers 5 mg (8.500 mcg of DFE) natural, biologically active folate. Folate is vital for cell growth and cell division. It also helps with homocysteine metabolism. This formula provides folate in the bioidentical, bioactive form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). L-5-MTHF is the active, circulating form folate found in the body. It is also one of many forms found in foods. Only found in this [6S] form in nature. DFH, therefore, uses L-5-MTHF (asQuatrefolic), the natural isomer) rather than the mixed or racemic form. This new form of folate has shown high bioavailability, solubility, and long-lasting stability. Quatrefolic, L-5-MTHF, helps to maintain optimal serum folate. *
