What is High Potency Optimized Folate?

Maintaining normal levels of homocysteine, a metabolic byproduct, is associated with both cardiovascular and cognitive health. Folate, a B vitamin, helps maintain homocysteine levels already within normal range. However, not everyone can efficiently convert folate to its biologically active form. Our formula provides 5-MTHF, so you don’t have to.

The 5-MTHF folate in High Potency Optimized Folate is an ultra-bioavailable form of the B-vitamin commonly called folic acid.

High Potency Optimized Folate Benefits

  • Super high-potency dose of bioavailable 5-MTHF folate
  • Supports both cardiovascular & cognitive health
  • Helps maintain already-healthy homocysteine levels
  • 5-MTHF folate overcomes the enzyme inefficiency roadblock

For the Greatest Health Benefits

Folic acid is a common B-vitamin supplement. Once ingested, your body is supposed to convert folic acid into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. But research shows that many people lack sufficient activity of the enzyme that’s necessary to do this. So we formulated High Potency Optimized Folate with 8500 mcg of 5-MTHF, saving your body the trouble.
