Basic Properties
Product Description
Active folic acid (5-methyltetrahydrofolate, 5-MTHF) is the natural active form of folic acid, which can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body without undergoing complex metabolic transformations. Compared with ordinary synthetic folic acid, active folic acid is more suitable for people with MTHFR gene mutations or folic acid metabolism disorders, and can more effectively prevent fetal neural tube defects, improve homocysteine levels, and reduce health risks caused by folic acid metabolism problems.
Characteristic
- No need for metabolic transformation: The common synthetic folic acid (such as folic acid tablets) needs to undergo multiple enzymatic reactions in the body to be converted into 5-MTHF before it can exert its effect. However, the active folic acid exists directly in its active form, bypassing the action of the MTHFR enzyme, and is particularly suitable for people with this genetic mutation.
- High biological utilization rate: The absorption rate of active folic acid is more than 1.7 times that of ordinary folic acid, and it can reach a stable blood concentration more quickly, reducing the risk of folic acid deficiency caused by low metabolic efficiency.
- Higher security level: Excessive ordinary folic acid may mask the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency, while active folic acid has a shorter metabolic pathway and is less likely to accumulate in the body. Therefore, it is safer to use it for a long term.
