Methyl Folate, Now Foods, 5,000 mcg, 50 Capsules

Methyl Folate, Now Foods is a product that represents the metabolically active form of folic acid. Methylfolate is a biologically active, naturally occurring form of folic acid that is involved in essential bodily functions such as cell division, neurotransmitter synthesis, and DNA. Unlike the usual form of folic acid, Methylfolate penetrates the blood-brain barrier, where it is involved in neurological processes. Quatrefolic is a proprietary form of Methylfolate that has been shown to be superior in bioavailability to folic acid from dietary sources. 5-MTHF is a critical nutrient that is essential for the body. 5-MTHF is a necessary cofactor in the metabolism of homocysteine, the production of the neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Folic acid in its active form is completely absorbed in our body. For more detailed advice, you can contact the manager at the Biotus website
