Life Extension High Potency Optimized Folate, 5000mcg
Life Extension High Potency Optimized Folate 5000mcg is a vegetarian tablet providing a high dose of folate in its active form, 5-MTHF. It suits adults who want a strong folate supplement that does not need converting in the body.
Key features
- Folate as 5-MTHF, also called L-methylfolate
- Provides 8500 mcg of 5-MTHF
- Up to seven times more bioavailable than folic acid
- Folate contributes to the normal function of the immune system
- Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Folic acid, the synthetic form used in many supplements, has to be converted by an enzyme into 5-MTHF before the body can use it. A sizeable share of people have reduced activity of that enzyme, so taking 5-MTHF directly sidesteps the step altogether. This is a high-potency product, so it is intended for people who know they want a larger amount.
Available in a pot of 30 vegetarian tabs.
