Active folate instead of regular folic acid
The most common form of folic acid, which is most commonly used in dietary supplements, is pteroylmonoglutamic acid. This is a form that is not biologically active and in the body must undergo the appropriate transformations. Such a scheme does not suit everyone. A desirable alternative is biologically active folate, or 5-MTHF. In this supplement you'll find 5-MTHF in the form of a highly absorbable calcium salt.
Why should you supplement folate?
Folate, or vitamin B9, is an important representative of the B vitamins. It is of exceptional importance in the process of maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, and folate supplementation is especially recommended for women in their childbearing years.
Taking adequate amounts of folate in the diet helps maintain proper psychological function and control feelings of fatigue. It is also an important factor for maintaining proper blood production and immune function. Folate is involved in the metabolism of homocysteine, which has been linked to the risk of heart disease, and in particular the use of methylated folate, such as in the dietary supplement Needed 5-MTHF, has many advocates for controlling homocysteine levels in the blood.
One capsule covers 200% of the daily folate requirement
The recommended amount of folate for daily intake for an adult is 200 µg. One capsule of Needed 5-MTHF provides 400 µg of methylated folate, which is the most common amount for preventive supplementation.
Thesmall capsule size, acapsule shell made of material suitable for vegans, and neutral technological ingredients are features that make Needed 5-MTHF meet the expectations of any consumer.
