Methylated Folate - 60 Vegetable Capsules
In many circles, folate or folic acid (the synthetic form) are common names, especially in relation to pregnancy. Folate plays so many important roles in a baby's development that it's vital in prenatal vitamin supplements. It's especially crucial for proper neurological development and should be a key component in preparing the body for pregnancy, as the need for folate is greatest in the very earliest weeks, before a woman even realizes she is pregnant.
But did you know that not all folate products are made equal? Many supplements that list folate on the label actually use folic acid, a synthetic version of the natural form of folate. While folic acid can be absorbed and used to a limited degree by many people, there are some whose bodies are unable to convert it into a usable form at all. The form that is pre-converted for easy use is methylated folate or 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid. In this form, the body is able to utilize it right away without any additional conversion.
Folate is well known for its role in prenatal development and helping to prevent neural tube disorders such as Spina Bifida, anencephaly, etc. However, you may not know that Folate also aids in maintaining balance during hormonal changes, especially during the postpartum period. Folate is also very beneficial for men's reproductive health prior to baby's conception.
Folate's role in supporting overall health cannot be overstated. Studies have indicated its beneficial role in supporting the heart and cardiovascular system. It's also an important nutrient for brain health. Folate can be a particularly important nutrient for individuals struggling with anemia.
Studies have shown those who can benefit from Methylated Folate are those who carry the gene mutation MTHFR, people with absorption issues, women during childbearing years, or anyone who needs supplementation with folate.
Beeyoutiful®'s Methylated Folate is the methylated form of Vitamin Folate providing superior bioavailability that the synthetic form of folic acid is unable to offer.
