## Description

Life Extension High Potency Optimized Folate – L-methylfolate – Folic Acid, 8500 mcg DFE – Heart & Brain Support, Healthy Homocysteine Levels – Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegetarian – 30 Tablets

## Features

- High potency – This powerful folate supplement contains 8500 mcg of 5-MTHF folate, the bioactive form of folic acid. Choosing 5-MTHF instead of regular folic acid is a good option because not everyone can convert folate to 5-MTHF.
- Cardiovascular support – Folate is a heart-healthy B vitamin. Why? Folate helps maintain normal levels of homocysteine, a metabolic byproduct. Keeping homocysteine levels within normal range is an important biomarker for cardiovascular health.
- Cognitive health – Folate is also a “big brain” vitamin: it helps maintain cognitive health. Again, this has to do with keeping homocysteine levels within normal range, as homocysteine has also been associated with normal cognitive decline.
- Ingredients matter – We use only the finest raw ingredients with the purity and potency you deserve. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every one.
- Live your healthiest life – We believe the answers to a healthier life are within reach, and that scientific research is the key to getting us there. That’s why so many of our formulas feature specific ingredients and amounts based on scientific studies.
