Folic Acid, Jarrow Formulas, 800 mcg, 100 Capsules

Folic acid must be in an active form, only then it can be absorbed in our body. This biochemical process occurs in the intestines and liver. Some enzymes may be absent in the body or very weakly convert folic acid to its active  form of 5-MTHF.5-MTHF is an essential cofactor in the metabolism of homocysteine, and is also necessary  for the normal production of the neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. During pregnancy, low levels of folic acid in the body are associated with neural tube defects, miscarriage, lower birth weight, and various age-related complications. You can find this and many other supplements on the website Biotus.
