Life Extension Optimized Folate L-Methylfolate. 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 folic acid supplements, however, may not be experiencing its full spectrum of effects. This is because folic acid is itself not biologically active, but its biological importance is due to its active form called 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) after its conversion to dihydrofolic acid in the liver. Research shows that in a large proportion of the population, genetic dihydrofolate reductase enzyme deficiencies limited the conversion of folate to 5-MTHF, leaving many vulnerable to low blood 5-MTHF levels (and higher than desired homocysteine).
Optimized Folate now provides Quatrefolic 5-methyltetrahydrofolate complexed with glucosamine for longer stability, higher water solubility and improved bioavailability compared to other forms of 5-MTHF.
Directions: Take one capsule daily with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
