Optimized Folate – 5‑MTHF for Heart & Brain Health

What Is Optimized Folate?

Maintaining normal homocysteine levels is linked to cardiovascular and cognitive health. Optimized Folate delivers 1,700 mcg of metabolically active 5‑Methyl­tetrahydrofolate (5‑MTHF), bypassing conversion limitations to support healthy folate levels.*

Optimized Folate Benefits*

  • Supports cardiovascular and cognitive health*
  • Helps maintain already‑healthy homocysteine levels*
  • Delivers 1,700 mcg bioactive folate per day

Product Details

As a key B‑vitamin, folate plays a central role in neurotransmitter synthesis and enzymatic reactions throughout the body. Because many people lack the enzyme needed to convert folic acid into active folate, delivering 5‑MTHF ensures optimal absorption and efficacy.*

1,700 mcg of 5‑MTHF supports healthy homocysteine levels, promoting cardiovascular system function and cognitive resilience—especially important for aging individuals or those with genetic metabolic impediments. When used with methylcobalamin (B12), B6, or riboflavin, benefits may be further enhanced.*
