NOW - Methylfolate 1000 mg (90Caps) Now - Methylfolate is the biologically active, naturallyoccurring form of folate that is used for fundamental body functions like normal cell division and the synthesis of neurotransmitters and DNA. Unlike regular folic acid, methylfolate has been shown to penetrate the bloodbrain barrier, where it helps to support neurological health.
Quatrefolic is a patented form of methylfolate that has demonstrated bioavailability superior to that of folate from dietary sources. This product uses a patented form of methylfolate called Quatrefolic (6S5MTHF glucosamine salt) which is a metabolically active folate. It provides 1,000mcg (1mg) of active 5MTHF per tablet (which corresponds to ~1,667mcg DFE) in the 1000mcg version.
Designed to support normal cell division, DNA synthesis, neurotransmitter production, and neurological health (via folate crossing the bloodbrain barrier) rather than standard folic acid. Suitable for vegetarian/vegan users; free from wheat, gluten, soy, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts. Ingredients: Active Ingredient Folate [1,000mcg (6S)5MTHF] from Quatrefolic (6S)5MTHFGlucosamine Salt) Other (nonmedicinal) Ingredients Microcrystalline Cellulose Stearic Acid (vegetable source) Silicon Dioxide (Silica) Allergen / additional notes Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients.
Suitable for vegetarian/vegan use. Benefits: Delivers active folate (5MTHF/Quatrefolic) which the body can use immediately no conversion required. Supports cell division, DNA synthesis and general cellular health. Helps maintain healthy neurological function, because the active folate form can cross the bloodbrain barrier.
May support cardiovascular health by aiding normal homocysteine metabolism (due to folates role in methylation). Suitable for those following vegan/vegetarian diets; free from many common allergens (gluten, soy, dairy, etc). Things to keep in mind: Because it is a high dose of active folate, individuals should ensure vitaminB12 status is adequate folate can mask B12 deficiency.
If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications (especially those affecting folate metabolism or cell division) you should consult a healthcare provider. Even though the form is bioactive, it complements but does not replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
