L-methylfolate provides the bioactive form of folate used in one-carbon metabolism, where it donates methyl groups for DNA synthesis and methylation and supports normal red blood cell formation.

- Metafolin® 1,000 mcg
- Bio-Active Form
- Certified Gluten Free
- Wheat & Dairy Free
- Suitable for Vegans
- Dietary Supplement
- Kosher Parve
Folic Acid must first be converted to its active form by a series of biochemical steps before it is able to be used by the body. Metafolin® (L-methyl- folate) requires no conversion because it is bioidentical to the bio-active form. In other words, it is 'body-ready'. This can be useful for individuals whose bodies have difficulty converting folic acid to its active form. The active folate in this formulation promotes heart health. It also supports a healthy nervous system and the formation of healthy red blood cells.
