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 those with a MTHFR gene mutation can absorb it to avoid deficiency. AOR’s BioFolate® provides a high dose of active folate with minimal active vitamin B12, as folate supplementation can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency. In keeping 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.
