Life Extension Optimized Folate (l-methylfolate)

Our Optimized Folate formula promotes both cardiovascular and cognitive health with 1,000 mcg of folate in the form of L-Methylfolate.

  • Supports both cardiovascular & cognitive health
  • Helps maintain already-healthy homocysteine levels
  • Delivers 1,000 mcg of the B vitamin folate

Folate Promotes Heart and Brain Health

Folic acid is a common B-vitamin supplement. Folate helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range. Homocysteine levels are an important biomarker for both cardiovascular and cognitive health—so be proactive. This formula delvers 1,000 mcg of L-Methylfolate. If you’re looking for 5-MTHF folate, try our High Potency Optimized Folate formula.

Product Description

Optimized Folate (L-Methylfolate), 1000 mcg, 100 vegetarian TABLETS. Optimized Folate (L-Methylfolate)1000 mcg, 100 vegetarian TABLETS. Folate is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and critical enzymatic reactions throughout the body. By depleting excess homocysteine, folate benefits cardiovascular health and nervous system function. Those who take ordinary folic acid supplements, however, may not be experiencing its full spectrum of effects. This is because once ingested, not everyone converts folate to its biologically active form called 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). Research shows that in a large proportion of the population, genetic enzyme deficiencies prevent the conversion of folate to 5-MTHF, leaving many vulnerable to low blood folate levels (and higher than desired homocysteine). A more useful approach is to take the bioactive folate 5-MTHF directly, which has been declassified as a drug and is now available as a dietary supplement. 5-MTHF has been shown to dramatically raise blood serum folate levels compared with folic acid supplementation. This bioactive folate is up to seven times more bioavailable than folic acid. This greater bioavailability is especially important in people who have a genetic enzyme deficiency since it requires no conversion to become metabolically active

Great product for those with fatigue caused by Methylfolate deficiency
This is a great product for those with fatigue caused by Methylfolate deficiency, especially those with a MTHFR mutation. This product gives me noticeable lift in physical energy and I'm hoping for a bit more of a mental energy boost as well.Methylfolate does have side effects so you might want to do your research before deciding to take a Methylfolate supplement. This is a teeny tiny little tablet, very easy to swallow. It has no taste or smell that I can detect and I'm very sensitive to those things.Highly recommended!
