Product
Description: 5-MTHF 1000mcg 60c is available by Thorne Research.
5-MTHF
is the most biologically active form of the B-vitamin folic acid. 5MTHF
works in concert with vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) in the conversion
of homocysteine to methionine, which provides methyl groups for
numerous other biochemical reactions in the body. Because of this,
folate supplementation supports cardiovascular health, nervous system
function, normal cellular proliferation, and gingival health. Folate
supplementation during pregnancy has been shown to reduce the risk of
neural tube defects.
Research has shown a subset of
individuals do not efficiently convert folic acid from the diet or
supplements to active 5-MTHF, due to genetic enzyme deficiencies.
Research suggests 5-MTHF is a more efficient form of supplementation
than inactive folic acid in these and other individuals.
