Douglas Laboratories Methyl Folate L-5-MTHF

Understanding B Vitamins can seem a little intimidating—especially when talking about Vitamin B9. That’s because it comes in a few forms and has multiple names. But don’t let that stop you! Whatever you call it—Folate, Vitamin B9, Levomefolic Acid, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF—taking a supplement like this one will help you get your daily dose of this essential vitamin.

What’s more, this formula includes Folate in the form of 5-MTHF. This means your body can use it right away, without the need for additional substances to make it bioavailable. It’s also the only form of Folate that’s been proven to effectively pass the blood-brain barrier! Most types of folate cannot do this, which makes it difficult for them to provide direct support for the nervous system.

But, why is folate important?

The short answer is, for a number of reasons. Most notably, Folate:

• Is essential for pregnant women: There’s a reason this vitamin is included in almost every prenatal vitamin! It’s key when it comes to infant development and is essential for a healthy brain, spine, and more.*
• Promotes cognitive function: Folate doesn’t just benefit infant cognitive function, though. It’s also important when it comes to brain health in adults.*
• May help with depression: It supports a balanced mood and has been shown to help with psychological disorders like occasional anxiety or depression.*
• Helps out your heart: Folate supports cardiovascular function, too. It does so by promoting healthy blood pressure. Folate has also been shown to reduce the risk of having a stroke because it helps to lower homocysteine, an amino acid that can contribute to heart disease.*

If you’re looking for more heart support, consider Lively Vitamin Co. Multivitamin. Then, add heart-targeted nutrients like Pure Encapsulations CoQ10 for optimal cardiovascular function and Pure Encapsulations Nitric Oxide Ultra to further support your heart.*
