Folate, homocysteine & cardiovascular health

Folate helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range. By helping to inhibit excess homocysteine, folate supports healthy levels of this important cardiovascular health biomarker.1

5-MTHF, homocysteine & cognitive health

Since people with elevated homocysteine levels have a greater risk of cognitive decline, getting enough folate is especially crucial for aging individuals attempting to maintain cognitive health.2,3

Take alone or with B12 for enhanced effect

The RDA for folate for non-pregnant or lactating adults is 400 mcg a day. This formula delivers 1,700 mcg of 5-MTHF folate. If you’re looking for a higher dose, try Life Extension's High Potency Optimized Folate formula, which delivers 8,500 mcg of 5-MTHF. You can combine either formula with vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamin, vitamin B6 in either the pyridoxal 5’-phosphate or pyridoxine hydrochloride form, and/or riboflavin.

Suggested Usage

Take one (1) tablet daily with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.

    Great product!

    My psychiatrist actually recommended this for me because of my terribly low energy. This supplement does seem to make me feel better when I take it every day. A+!

    Using this has helped

    Using just one pill a day for a month or so has brought my folate level up so it is now in the normal range (just) I imagine continuing use will bring it up further to where it should be. The small pill is very easy to take.
