  • Pure Encapsulations Folate 5,000 Plus 60 caps Pure Encapsulations Folate 5,000 Plus 60 caps

    Activated folate, vitamin B12 and B6 combinationFolate 5,000 Plus provides 5,000 mcg of folate as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the universally metabolized and biologically active form of folate, combined with activated vitamin B12 and B6. Optimal levels of these B vitamins have been associated with cellular, cardiovascular, neurological and emotional health. Activated B vitamins provide methyl groups to support healthy methylation, a key regulator of genetic expression and cellular function. Healthy methylation is vital for cellular health, hormone and neurotransmitter production, and energy metabolism. Research suggests that B vitamins help maintain a healthy nervous system function. In a randomized controlled study, a combination of methylfolate, methycobalamin, and pyridoxal-5-phosphate promoted healthy epidermal nerve fiber density and nerve comfort. These vitamins also enhance healthy endothelial function and play a vital role in the metabolism of homocysteine.• 5,000 mcg of activated folate per capsule • Combination of activated B vitamins • Made with hypoallergenic, vegan ingredients   Dietary Considerations Gluten FreeNon-GMO   Serving Size: 1 Vegetable Capsule   Servings Per Container: 60   Amount Per Serving % Daily Value Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxal 5' phosphate (activated B6)) 25 mg 1471%Folate (as Quatrefolic (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt) (5,000 mcg 5-MTHF) DFE 8333 mcg 2083%Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin) 1000 mcg 41667%   Other Ingredients hypoallergenic plant fiber (cellulose), vegetarian capsule (cellulose, water)   Suggested Use As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule daily, with a meal, or as directed by a health professional.   Warning If you are pregnant or lactating, have any health condition or are taking any medication, consult your health professional before use.

    Description 5-MTHF is an active, tissue-ready form of folate.* It's an essential B vitamin that supports methylation.* Many individuals don't get sufficient 5-MTHF because they have intestinal or liver dysfunction or because of their genetic makeup.* A deficiency of folic acid has been linked to low-birth-weight infants and neural tube defects; adequate folic acid in healthful diets may reduce a womans risk of having a child with a neural tube defect. Since 5-MTHF also contributes to the production of serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, supplementation may help support a healthy mood.

Folic Acid Products

Folic acid is one of the most important nutrients a woman of childbearing age can consume. Folic acid helps protect against neural tube defects, which causes spina bifida. Spinda bifida happens when the vertebrae does not properly form around the spinal cord. To help protect against neural tube defects, expectant moms and those who are thinking of becoming a mother should consume at least 400 micrograms of folic acid daily.

Folic acid can be found in a variety of food items, including lentils, broccoli, okra, citrus fruit and fortified cereals. Eating a variety of foods rich in folic acid can help protect against neural tube defects. To ensure expectant moms are receiving ample amounts of folic acid, they should eat a variety of foods rich in folic acid and take a prenatal supplement. VitaLiving offers high quality Folic acid Supplements at attractive prices.
