Healthy homocysteine levels for heart & brain health support
Supplement Facts
For you, if you are interested in supporting cardiovascular health and brain function
The formula of Optimized Folate can:
Promote cardiovascular health
Support nervous system & cognitive health
Help maintain normal levels of homocysteine
Deliver 1700 mcg of the B vitamin folate
Maintaining normal levels of the metabolic byproduct homocysteine is associated with both cardiovascular and cognitive health. The B vitamin Optimized Folate can help maintain already healthy homocysteine levels.
Health benefits at a glance:
Folate is a member of the B-complex family as vitamin B9 and can promote heart and brain health. Optimized Folate offers 1700 mcg of folate in the form of 5-MTHF (L-methylfolate), which is the metabolically active form of folic acid. The formula is vegetarian, gluten-free, and non-GMO.
Why it works:
The vitamin B folate helps keep homocysteine levels within a healthy range. Homocysteine is a natural byproduct of metabolism, and maintaining normal levels is important for both cardiovascular and cognitive health.
The science behind the product:
Folate for homocysteine & heart health
Folate is essential for maintaining normal homocysteine levels. By helping to inhibit excess homocysteine, folate promotes healthy levels of this important cardiovascular health biomarker. (1)
5-MTHF, homocysteine levels & cognition
High homocysteine levels are linked to an increased risk of cognitive decline. Ensuring sufficient folate intake, especially in its active form 5-MTHF, is particularly important for maintaining brain health as we age. (2,3)
Flexible dosing alone or with B vitamins for enhanced effect
The recommended daily intake for folate is 400 mcg for most adults (non-pregnant). This folate supplement provides 1700 mcg of 5-MTHF.
For added support, you can pair folate with vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin), vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5’-phosphate or pyridoxine HCl), and/or riboflavin (vitamin B2).
