The Active Ingredient Is: Folate (5-Methyltetrahydrofolate)

Folate, in its bioactive coenzyme form 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, is a B vitamin essential for normal cellular functions including methylation and DNA synthesis. This form is more readily utilised by the body than synthetic folic acid, supporting metabolic processes involved in cardiovascular and neural health.

This form is the bioactive folate variant used by the body to support methylation and DNA synthesis, with sources including natural and fortified foods; research indicates superior blood folate status and homocysteine handling with 5-MTHF compared with folic acid.

What Does Folate (5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) Do?

Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and supports neural and cardiovascular health in line with EFSA guidance. The 5-MTHF form is associated with improved folate status and is a key participant in methylation pathways important for healthy brain function.

Dr. Scaglione of the University of Bologna found that 5-MTHF elevates serum folate levels and supports homocysteine regulation more effectively than folic acid, aligning with EFSA recommendations for folate function.
