Douglas Laboratories Methyl Folate L-5-MTHF

Understanding B Vitamins can feel a little intimidating — especially when you get into Vitamin B9. That’s because it shows up in a few forms and goes by more than one name.

But don’t let that throw you off! Whatever you call it—Folate, Vitamin B9, Levomefolic Acid, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF—taking a supplement like this one can help you get your daily dose of this essential vitamin.*

Even better, this formula includes Folate in the form of 5-MTHF. That means your body can use it directly, without needing extra conversion steps. It provides L-5-MTHF, the bioactive form of folate, which can be used directly by the body.* This form is often used for nervous system and brain health support.*

So, why is folate important? Short answer: quite a few reasons. Most notably, Folate:

  • Is essential for pregnant women: There’s a reason this vitamin is included in almost every prenatal vitamin! It plays a key role in infant development and is important for healthy brain and spine development.*
  • Promotes cognitive function: Folate doesn’t just matter for infant cognitive function, either. It also plays a role in brain health in adults.*
  • Helps with balanced mood: It helps maintain a balanced mood and helps the body manage occasional everyday stress.*
  • Helps out your heart: Folate is good for cardiovascular function, too. It does so by helping maintain healthy blood pressure already within the normal range.* Folate also helps support cardiovascular health and helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range.*

If you’re looking for more heart support, consider Lively Vitamin Co. Multivitamin. Then, add heart-targeted nutrients like Pure Encapsulations CoQ10 for cardiovascular function and Pure Encapsulations Nitric Oxide Ultra to further support your heart.*
