L-Methylfolate 5 mg (5-MTHF). Slow Release Vegetarian Capsules to Extend Bioavailability. Active Folate (Vitamin B9) Supplement to Support Mood and Cardiovascular Health. 90 Capsules. New by Authenta.

L-Methylfolate (or alternately 5-MTHF), is the active form
of Folate that your body can use most effectively. It is also the only form
that can cross the blood-brain barrier. This active form of vitamin B9
performs a number of important roles in the body related to healthy brain
chemistry and cardiovascular function. More common Folic acid, on the other
hand, needs to first be converted to L-Methylfolate by the body. However up to
40% of Americans may have a reduced ability to convert Folic acid to
L-Methylfolate due to genetic factors. By taking L-Methylfolate directly, no
conversion is required. L-Methylfolate is a water-soluble compound that has a
short half-life in the body. Regular 5-MTHF capsules will quickly dissolve in
the stomach, and be fully absorbed into the blood stream shortly after
ingestion. However, the body’s cells may not require the full amount of
L-Methylfolate released rapidly into the bloodstream, and any excess will be
excreted through the kidneys. Bioavailability will therefore decrease rapidly
unless another capsule is ingested. AUTHENTA SLOW RELEASE L-Methylfolate
capsules contain a food-grade vegetable cellulose additive that is mixed with
the active ingredient. When stomach fluids penetrate the slow-release capsule,
this cellulose additive becomes gelatin-like, and the 5-MTHF mixed with it is
released much more slowly as it takes longer for the capsule to dissolve. This
is beneficial as the concentration of the Folate in the blood lasts much
longer, and will be available to the cells when they need it. Less of the
Folate is wasted due to the kidneys flushing out what your body’s cells can’t
use right away. Formulas for Preventative Healthcare! Natural Ingredients

Features:

• NEW AUTHENTA L-METHYLFOLATE SLOW RELEASE CAPSULES take longer to dissolve than regular capsules. The slow release of the L-Methylfolate in Authenta capsules delays peak blood concentration and extends bioavailability of the Folate for when your body needs it.
• REGULAR L-METHYLFOLATE CAPSULES release their contents quickly, resulting in a higher peak blood concentration shortly after ingestion. Folate your body does not need right away is flushed through the kidneys and bioavailability decreases rapidly.
• L-METHYLFOLATE (5-MTHF) IS THE ACTIVE FORM OF FOLATE that your body can use most effectively. More common Folic acid, on the other hand, needs to be converted to 5-MTHF by the body. However up to 40 percent of Americans have a reduced ability to convert Folic acid to 5-MTHF due to genetic factors.
• L-METYHLFOLATE HELPS SUPPORT already normal Homocysteine levels, healthy brain chemistry, and Nitric Oxide production. These may be important factors for the maintenance of cardiovascular health and positive moods.
• AUTHENTA L-METHYLFOLATE SLOW RELEASE CAPSULES are tested rigourously by a Licensed third-party lab. Developed by well-known Pharmacist and Herbalist Sam Ibrahim, AUTHENTA products disclose ALL ingredients, are non-GMO, and do not contain any common allergens.
