Properties and Usage:
Methylfolate, also known as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, is the biologically active form of vitamin B9. Unlike ordinary folic acid, methylfolate can directly participate in the synthesis and repair of DNA and RNA, and plays an important role in the process of cell division.
1. Nutritional supplements:
For some people who cannot effectively metabolize ordinary folic acid, especially those with MTHFR gene mutations, methylfolate provides a more effective folic acid supplement option.
2. Pregnancy care:
During pregnancy, folic acid is essential for the neural tube development of the fetus. Methylfolate can not only prevent fetal neural tube defects, but also support the health of the mother
3. Cardiovascular health:
Methylfolate can effectively reduce homocysteine levels, an amino acid associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. By regulating homocysteine levels, the heart is healthier
4. Mental health:
Studies have shown that methylfolate has a certain effect on improving depressive symptoms, especially for those with folate metabolism disorders.
