This form is utilized directly by the body and is suitable for people who have difficulty metabolizing synthetic folic acid.
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®?
Quatrefolic® is an innovative, patented form of [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolate with very high bioavailability, good solubility, and long-term stability. Quatrefolic® L-5-MTHF has been shown to increase blood folate levels more effectively than regular folic acid.
