## Description

Optimized Folate (L-Methylfolate) – Supports Heart & Brain Health – Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Vegetarian –1700 mcg DFE — 100 Vegetarian Tablets

## Features

- BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE FOLIC ACID — Our Optimized Folate formula promotes both cardiovascular and cognitive health with 1700 mcg of folate in the form of 5-MTHF (L-Methylfolate), the metabolically active form of folic acid.
- WHY FOLATE? – Maintaining normal levels of homocysteine, a metabolic byproduct, is associated with heart and brain health. Folate, a B vitamin, helps maintain homocysteine levels already within normal range. However, not everyone can efficiently convert folate to its biologically active form. Our formula provides 5-MTHF, so you don’t have to.
- HEART & BRAIN-FRIENDLY NUTRIENT – Because folate helps inhibit excess homocysteine, folate supports healthy levels of this important cardiovascular biomarker. Since healthy homocysteine levels have been associated with cognitive health, getting enough folate is especially crucial for individuals who want to maintain brain health.
- INGREDIENTS MATTER - Sourced using only the finest raw ingredients with the purity and potency your body deserves. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free, and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every product we produce.
- LIVE YOUR HEALTHIEST LIFE - For over 40 years, we’ve been developing advanced, effective formulas made with the highest standards and based on the latest scientific findings. We believe the answers to a healthier, richer life are within reach, and that rigorous scientific research is the path to get us there. Our formulations are created using the ingredients and dosages used in the studies that inspired them, ensuring that maximum bioavailability and efficacy is achieved.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It says 1700 mcf DFE of folate, but how of that is actual folic acid equivalent?**
A: Hello, We apologize for any confusion. At the end of August of 2020, we updated our Optimized Folate supplement facts section. The amount of folate was updated from 1,000 mcg to 1,700 mcg based on updated FDA labeling guidelines. This change is a result of what the FDA has defined as dietary folate equivalents (DFE). They determined that 0.6 mcg of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, calcium salt is equal to 1 mcg DFE. They have also determined that one mcg of naturally occurring folate is equal to one mcg DFE. Their rationale is that this accounts for the greater bioavailability (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, calcium salt compared to naturally occurring folate. The change to 1,700 mcg in this product allows us to deliver the desired potency in terms of DFE.

**Q: What is the expiration date?**
A: The expiration date on mine is 7/20/2023, but I bought it over 3 months ago. I have no idea what the expiration date will be on the bottle you’re buying.

**Q: Is this Metafolin?**
A: Metafolin is a trademarked name for the active form of folate, known as methylfolate. While Optimized Folate doesn't utilize this specific brand, it does include L-Methylfolate.

**Q: Is any component of your usa manufactured  product sourced from china or india?**
A: It's been a very long time since I purchased this product. I no longer have the container and have consumed all of the product. That said, I have since switched to Folic Acid 800 mcg made in Austin Texas and available on Amazon.
