5-MTHF is the predominant natural form of folic acid commonly found in cells and is essential for overall health. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body without further conversion by the enzyme 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). In some populations, the body's ability to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF using this enzyme may be compromised due to genetic differences.
Metafolin® contains only the S-isomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be the only form of folate capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Folate is an essential water-soluble B vitamin found in many foods, including green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits and beans. Research has shown that folate supplementation before and during the first two months of pregnancy can prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. In addition, folate plays a key role in red blood cell production and methionine formation.
