Life Extension Optimized Folate (1000mg) provides a highly bio-available form of folate known as Folate 5-MTHF. This helps you better benefit from folate’s ability to promote cell production and enzymatic reactions in the body.

Folate is a good source of Vitamin B9. It is mostly derived from leafy vegetables, beans, peas, asparagus, sunflower seeds, and lentils. Folate plays a key role in cell production, DNA and RNA synthesis, and other enzymatic reactions in the human body. This important vitamin helps promote healthy red and white blood cells.

Folate deficiency may cause anemia, the symptoms of which include excessive tiredness, restlessness, and poor concentration. It is also associated in the neurotransmission process of the nervous system. By regulating homocysteine levels, folate helps promote the normal functioning of our cardiovascular system and may even reduce the risks of cancer.

Ordinary Folate supplements may not totally address its deficiency. This is largely due to the fact that non-advanced formulations may not fully convert Folate into its biological form known as 5-methyltetrahydroflolate or 5-MTHF. Genetic enzyme deficiency is often the primary reason for this inability to convert Folate into its biological form.

Direct consumption of a bioactive form of Folate 5-MTHF addresses folate supplement conversion issues. 5-MTHF has the ability to increase blood serum folate levels, which is 7 times more bioavailable than a regular folic supplement. By making Folate highly bioavailable, individuals who are suffering from enzyme deficiency will not have a hard time converting and digesting Folate in the body.
