Life Extension BioActive Folate & Vitamin B12

• Life Extension BioActive Folate & Vitamin B12 capsules contain the biologically active forms of folate (as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate) and vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin).

• 5-methyltetrahydrofolate or 5-MTHF is the metabolically active form of folic acidit is the only form of folate used directly by the body and does not require metabolic conversion or activation. 5-MTHF is seven times more bioavailable than folic acid. 5-MTHF can cross the blood-brain barrier which allows 5-MTHF specifically to benefit the neurological system.

• Methylcobalamin is the bioactive form of B12 that is readily utilized in the body and the central nervous system.

Folate provides the following health benefits:

• Helps promote healthy DNA function 

• Maintains already normal homocysteine levels, which is important for heart health

• Promotes healthier skin

• Helps maintain a healthy GI tract

• Is part of a healthy immune system 

• Maintains healthy endothelial function 

• Improves mild memory loss associated with aging

Vitamin B12:

• Supports brain health and cognition as one ages 

• Supports heart health by regenerating the amino acid methionine which helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels

• Supports nervous system function as vitamin B12 and folate together help maintain the integrity of the myelin sheath of nerves

• Helps enhance methylation and promote nerve cell growth, brain health, cognition and metabolism

• Works with folate to maintain the production of red blood cells (erythropoiesis) within normal range
