## Description

Life-Extension Optimized Folate, 180 Vegetarian Tablets A Folic Acid / B9 Vitamin Supplement Folate is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and critical enzymatic reactions throughout the body. Why Choose Life Extension's Optimized Folate? ✔ More bioavailable than folic acid ✔ Non-GMO ✔ Vegetarian tablets Unlike other brands that use folic acid, Life Extension's Folate is made from 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate because it is more bioactive. Health benefits ◆ Supports neurotransmitter synthesis ◆ Helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range. Unlike folic acid, Life Extension 5-MTHF (in this Optimized Folate supplement) is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Choose Life Extention's Optimized Folate because it is already in the bioactive state, unlike traditional folate. Add to your cart because you deserve the best folate supplement.
