Folic acid (or folate) is vitamin B9, a water-soluble vitamin that plays a key role in the biosynthesis of DNA and RNA, the formation of red blood cells, protein metabolism and optimal gene expression. Since the body does not produce folic acid, but needs it, it gets it from food or supplements. Diet, lifestyle, certain medications and certain illnesses can deplete the body's stores of folic acid. BioFolate® contains L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), the active form of folic acid used by the body.
Consuming folate in the L-5-MTHF form ensures that even people with a mutation in the MTHFR gene can absorb it in order to avoid deficiency.
AOR BioFolate® provides a high dose of active folate combined with a minimal amount of active vitamin B12, since folate supplementation can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency. Consistent with our quality standards and philosophy, all AOR 5-MTHF products contain the purest form of L-5-MTHF on the market, guaranteed to be 99% pure.
