In a wholefood, stable and active form that is better used by your body than folic acid. Fulfils all the known uses of folic acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolate supplement benefits vs folic acid\u003cbr\u003eMany supplements contain folic acid; however folic acid must undergo several steps within the body to be converted to the active form – 5-MTHF. The final step in this conversion is carried out in your body by an enzyme called MTHFR and some people have genetic mutations which means this enzyme has reduced efficiency in converting folic acid to 5MTHF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMethylfolate does not need to be converted; it is in the active form, ready for use by the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunctions of folic acid\u003cbr\u003eFolic acid contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. This is important as high homocysteine is a risk factor for several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolate is used in the methylation cycle, something which occurs in all the cells of your body. Methylation is a chemical process that occurs a billions of times a second and is needed for the proper functioning of almost all body systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMethylation functions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetoxing environmental toxins\u003cbr\u003eRegulating hormones\u003cbr\u003eEnergy production\u003cbr\u003eProduction of neurotransmitters\u003cbr\u003eProduction of immune cells\u003cbr\u003eMetabolism of homocysteine\u003cbr\u003eMethylation involves transferring molecules called ‘methyl groups’ to and from compounds to allow them to work optimally in the body. Methyl donors include folate, B12 and B6, among other nutrients, which are vital to normal methylation and therefore homocysteine metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMethyl folate (or 5-MTHF) is readily able to donate a methyl group to the amino acid homocysteine which is then converted to methionine, which is then used to form S-adenosylmethionine (SAM-e). SAM-e is used in many metabolic processes that require a methyl group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolate contributes to normal:\u003cbr\u003epsychological function.\u003cbr\u003eblood formation.\u003cbr\u003ehomocysteine metabolism.\u003cbr\u003ematernal tissue growth during pregnancy.\u003cbr\u003eimmune system function.\u003cbr\u003eamino acid synthesis\u003cbr\u003econtributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.\u003cbr\u003ehas a role in the process of cell division.\u003cbr\u003eWhat is the best folic acid for pregnancy?\u003cbr\u003eSupplementing with folic acid during preconception and pregnancy increases the mother’s folate status.
