Life Extension High Potency Optimized Folate, 8,500 mcg DFE, 30 Vegetarian Tablets
UPC: 737870191339
Life Extension's High Potency Optimized Folate is a cardiovascular and cognitive health supplement that provides folate in its metabolically active form. It contains 8,500 mcg DFE of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) as a calcium salt, a form designed to bypass the enzyme conversion step required for folic acid, which research indicates some individuals may not efficiently perform.
This formula is intended to support healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range, with the manufacturer noting that 5-MTHF has been shown in studies to be more bioavailable than folic acid. The product is vegetarian, gluten-free, and non-GMO, and comes in a 30-tablet supply with a recommended daily dose of one tablet.
