High strength, highly absorbable & body-ready folic acid in the form of folate, 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate

Folate as 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is suitable for anyone looking for a high-strength, body-ready form of folate. It is particularly beneficial for:
• Individuals who have difficulty converting synthetic folic acid into the active form of folate.
• Those looking to support foetal growth during pregnancy.
• People who need to maintain normal homocysteine metabolism.
• Individuals aiming to reduce tiredness and fatigue or support healthy red blood cell formation.
• Safe to combine with any multivitamin containing folate for those needing higher amounts.

I have a MTHFR gene mutation, why should I take Folate?
Many supplements contain folic acid which then has to undergo a number of steps within the body in order to be converted to the useable form - 5-MTHF. The final step in this conversion is carried out in the body by an enzyme called MTHFR but many people have a genetic mutation which means this enzyme has reduced efficiency in converting folic acid to 5-MTHF.
The form of folate in Folate does not require this conversion so is the ideal choice for people whose folate status may be affected by genetic variation.

What does folate do?
Folate functions as a coenzyme, meaning it helps other enzymes in the body carry out important jobs. One important job is contributing to normal homocysteine metabolism. Homocysteine is a naturally occurring intermediate compound in the breakdown of the essential amino acid methionine. If levels of homocysteine are allowed to build up, however, this can have negative implications for cardiovascular health and cognitive function.

Why is folate important during pre-conception and the first few months of pregnancy?
Adequate folate is crucial for the developing baby during pregnancy, as it contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy and healthy neural tube development.

Which other areas of health does folate support?
Folate is also need for normal blood formation, the function of the immune system and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
