Formulation Notes

Methyl Folate contains Quatrefolic - the most biologically active form of folate - allowing rapid uptake into the bloodstream. This superior, methylated form of folate is metabolically active and ready for the body to use since it requires no additional conversion to be absorbed. Folate is also necessary for the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. The 5-MTHF in this formula is also known as the "L" form of 5-MTHF since it is the reduced form of folate.

This Formula Meets or Exceeds cGMP Quality Standards.

Does not contain: Milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy.
