- A combination of folic acid (B9) and vitamin B12 in their active forms
- Supports the healthy development of the fetus during pregnancy
- Prevents neural tube defects
- Supports cardiovascular health
- Ideal for plant-based and vegan diets
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.
NPN 80030511
Adult Dosage
Take one capsule daily with food, or as directed by a qualified health care practitioner.
Cautions
Folate supplementation can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency. Consult a health care practitioner prior to use if you are uncertain whether or not you are taking adequate vitamin B12 or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
