What the brand says

Sold as “Life Extension Optimized Folate – L-methylfolate – Heart & Brain Support, Healthy Homocysteine Levels – Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian – 1700 mcg DFE, 100 Vegetarian Tablets”

Folate helps maintain homocysteine levels within the normal range, which promotes cardiovascular health. And it also supports neurotransmitter synthesis — which in turn helps maintain cognitive abilities. However, not everyone has sufficient activity of the enzyme required to convert folate to its biologically active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. That’s why each vegetarian tablet of Optimized Folate provides 1,700 mcg of the bioactive 5-MTHF form of folate which is up to 7 times more bioavailable than ordinary folic acid.
