With Metafolin® L-5-MTHFSupports nutrient metabolismContributes to red blood cell formationMethylAssist provides activated B vitamins, including Metafolin® L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), to support nutrient metabolism. Activated B vitamins are particularly important for their supply of methyl groups involved in the methylation cycle. Methylation involves the transfer of a methyl group (CH3) from one molecule to another. Vitamin B12 and folate are required by the enzyme that produces methionine. Folate is provided in this formula as Metafolin®, the natural and universally metabolized form of folate. Metafolin® is chemically identical to the active metabolite of folic acid, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). L-5-MTHF is the major natural form of folic acid in foods. Because it bypasses several steps of enzyme activation, it is directly usable by the body and provides all the benefits of folic acid, regardless of functional or genetic variations. In addition, these B vitamins contribute to the formation of red blood cells. MethylAssist also contains benfotiamine, a synthetic derivative of thiamine whose bioavailability is said to be higher than thiamine itself.
