Life Extension Optimized Folate
Optimized Folate: Folate helps maintain homocysteine levels within the normal range, which promotes cardiovascular health. And it also supports neurotransmitter synthesis – which in turn helps maintain cognitive abilities. However, not everyone has sufficient activity of the enzyme required to convert folate to its biologically active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. That’s why each vegetarian tablet of Optimized Folate provides 1,000 mcg of the bioactive 5-MTHF form of folate which is up to 7 times more bio-available than ordinary folic acid.
Benefits at a glance:
- Supports cardiovascular health
- Supports neurotransmitter synthesis and critical enzyme reactions
- Maintains healthy homocysteine levels
