Methyl Folate 5 mg 60c by Douglas Laboratories
Methyl Folate by Douglas Laboratories provides a 5 mg dose of biologically active folate, also known as 5-MTHF (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, in a single vegetarian capsule. 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate found in cells, and is integral to overall health as it is involved in a reaction that converts homocysteine to methionine. QuatrefolicⓇ is a highly soluble glucosamine salt of 5-MTHF that has been shown to be more quickly absorbed than folic acid. The benefits of Methyl Folate to the human body are numerous. It helps to support healthy cardiovascular and neurological systems, as well as the production of red blood cells. It may also help to address symptoms associated with folate deficiency, such as fatigue, weakness, and difficulty concentrating. Methyl Folate is a unique product in the marketplace due to its use of QuatrefolicⓇ, a highly soluble glucosamine salt of 5-MTHF. This form of folate has been found to be more quickly absorbed than folic acid, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to supplement their dietary intake of folate.Recommendation:
