L Methylfolate 1,000mcg 60 capsules – Seeking Health Australia

Methylation controls multiple biochemical pathways in the body.

Who needs L Methylfolate?

Genetics, heart health, hormones, sleep, stress, mood, and detoxification depend on healthy methylation.

Where does the body get the methyl groups needed to carry out methylation? Primarily from folates that come from food and intestinal microbes. Food folates must be first converted into an active form before the body can use them.^†

The MTHFR enzyme converts food folates into the active form of folate, methylfolate. This bioavailable form is also known as L-methylfolate. The true biochemical name is L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF).^†

Over 50 percent of the population is thought to have a genetic mutation in their MTHFR gene. Thus, they may not be achieving adequate methylfolate levels from food alone.^†

Because L-5-MTHF bypasses the MTHFR enzyme, it can provide methylation support for those with MTHFR polymorphisms.^†

Folate (as bioavailable L-methylfolate) is:^†

• Easily absorbed and used by cells.
• The predominant form of folate in circulation.
• The only form of folate that can cross the blood-brain barrier.
• Essential for methylation, DNA expression, homocysteine metabolism, and nervous system function.

Seeking Health’s L-methylfolate contains 1,700 mcg DFE of methylfolate in the bioavailable form of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF).^†

The bioactive form of L-methylfolate (L-5-MTHF) is well-utilized in the methylation cycle. It is often the preferred form for those with methylation, homocysteine, or MTHFR gene mutation concerns.^†

Mutations in the MTHFR gene can lead to reduced L-methylfolate production and a less functional methylation cycle. Challenges in the methylation cycle are associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular and mood issues, birth defects, and infertility concerns.

Mutations in this gene can also slow the body’s ability to convert folate into its active forms. Thus, a large majority of people may benefit from consuming an L-methylfolate dietary supplement.^†

The most direct way to support methylation and MTHFR genetic mutations is with L-methylfolate (L-5-MTHF).^†

Supplementing with bioavailable L-methylfolate supports:^†

• Healthy methylation
• Positive mood
• Healthy homocysteine levels
• Nervous system function and development
• Neural tube health during pregnancy
• Healthy energy production
• Normal cognitive, memory, and brain function

The methylation cycle can fire on all cylinders with L-methylfolate from Seeking Health!^†
