The special feature of "Folate", a Natural Elements product is its 5-methyltetrahydrofolate form (5-MTHF), which is found in the body as an active form of folic acid. Folates are essential micronutrients which, as cofactors, participate in various processes in the body, assisting the body in the breakdown, use and production of proteins and the development of red blood cells. They lower the level of homocysteine in the blood and support the function of the central nervous system. They play a very important role in the process of cell division and fetal development. Taking folate before conception reduces the risk of nervous system abnormalities (neural tube defects in the fetus), and supplementation is recommended for both pregnant women and women planning pregnancy.
The advantage of folates is that they do not have to be metabolized in their activated form and can be optimally utilized in persons with reduced activity of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme. Of all available folate sources, the human body can only fully utilize folate in its active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate.
