L-Methyl folate Pharmacology

L-Methyl folate

About L-Methyl folate
Natural, active form of folic acid
Mechanism of Action of L-Methyl folate
Unlike regular folic acid, L-Methyl folate does not require enzymatic conversion to L-methylfolate in the body. By providing L-methylfolate directly, this form of folic acid may have benefits for those who do not produce enough L-methylfolate in response to folic acid supplementation. For those who take proper doses of folic acid, vitamins B12 and B6, and TMG (trimethylglycine), but still suffer from higher-than-optimal homocysteine, L-Methyl folate may be the solution.
