Pro Bioactive Folate contains L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, a methylated form of vitamin B9 (folate).
- Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in food, such as leafy green vegetables and citrus fruits that is involved in methylation, DNA synthesis, neurotransmitter production, histamine and estrogen metabolism and homocysteine homeostasis.
- This type of folate requires no additional metabolic steps to be used by the body, thus it is often the preferred choice for those with absorption, metabolic or genetic defects.
