NFH L-5-MTHF SAP
science-based metabolically active folic acid
folate sap folic acid, or folate, is a b vitamin that must be derived from either dietary sources or via supplementation. folate is necessary for a biochemical process in the body called “methylation” or “one-carbon metabolism.” this process does not work adequately in a significant number of individuals who have a genetic polymorphism, and it may contribute to a host of different concerns, including neural tube defects, depression, and reduction in red blood cell production. when the body absorbs folate, it goes through a series of biochemical conversions to become the active form l-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. if an individual is unable to convert the folate properly, they can end up with a deficiency, even though they are eating foods containing folate. folate is found in leafy green vegetables, legumes, beans, liver, yeast, and citrus fruits.
