Biofolate (60 VCaps)

Folate is vitamin B9, a water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in DNA and RNA synthesis, red blood cell production, the metabolism of proteins, and healthy genetic expression. The body needs folate but can’t synthesize it on its own and as such, must be consumed from foods or dietary supplements. Lifestyle, diet and some medications and diseases can deplete the body’s folate supply. BioFolate™ contains L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), a methylated form of folate. Taking folate in the form of L-5-MTHF allows those with the MTHFR mutation a source of folate. *Supports the healthy development (brain and spinal cord) of the fetus and helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily at least three months prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy. AOR Advantage AOR’s BioFolate™ provides a methylated form of folate combined with a minimal amount of active B12, as folate supplementation can mask a B12 deficiency.
