Pure Encapsulations Folate 1000 – Metafolin L-5-MTHF – Cardiovascular Support – Gluten Free – 90 Capsules

What is Folate and why is it important?

Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for numerous bodily functions. This nutrient contributes to normal blood cell formation, normal homocysteine metabolism, and normal immune system function, among other processes. Pure Encapsulations Folate 1000 provides 1,667 mcg DFE (1,000 mcg of L-5-MTHF) per capsule, in the form of Metafolin®, the biologically active form of folate, ready for the body to use.

Benefits of Folate for Cardiovascular Health*

Folate plays a key role in homocysteine metabolism. Homocysteine is an amino acid that, at elevated levels, is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular health. By contributing to maintaining normal homocysteine levels, folate supports heart and blood vessel health. Additionally, folate is important for cell division and DNA synthesis, fundamental processes for tissue renewal.

*EFSA-approved claim: Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.

Metafolin® L-5-MTHF: The Active Form of Folate

Pure Encapsulations uses Metafolin®, the natural and active form of folate (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate). Unlike synthetic folic acid, L-5-MTHF does not require conversion in the body, making it especially beneficial for individuals with genetic variations in the MTHFR enzyme. This ensures that all users, regardless of their genetics, can effectively obtain the benefits of folate.
