What is L-5-MTHF?
L-5-MTHF ( 5-methyltetrahydrofolate ) is the natural and biologically active form of folate that also occurs in food and the body. Unlike synthetic folic acid, L-5-MTHF does not require conversion and can be used directly in important processes such as cell division, DNA synthesis, and methylation.
What is Quatrefolic®?
