Description
AOR BioFolate
Folic acid (or folate) is vitamin B9, a water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in DNA and RNA synthesis, red blood cell production, the metabolism of proteins, and healthy genetic expression. The body needs folic acid but can’t synthesize it on its own and as such, must be consumed from foods or dietary supplements. Lifestyle, diet and some medications and diseases can deplete the body’s folate supply. BioFolate™ contains L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), the active form of folate that is used in the body.
Taking folate in the form of L-5-MTHF ensures that even those with the MTHFR mutation are able to absorb the folate and avoid deficiency.
Size
30 capsules
Benefits
AOR’s BioFolate™ provides a high dose of the active form of folate combined with a minimal amount of active B12, as folate supplementation can mask a B12 deficiency. In accordance with AOR’s philosophy and quality control standards, all of AOR’s 5-MTHF products contain only the highest purity L-5-MTHF on the market, which is guaranteed to be greater than 99% L-5-MTHF.
- Supports the healthy development of the fetus during pregnancy.
- Prevents neural tube defects.
- Supports cardiovascular health.
- Ideal for plant-based and vegan diets.
Usage Instructions
