About Life Extension – Optimized Folate, 1700mcg – 100 vegetarian tabs
Life Extension Optimized Folate delivers 1700 mcg DFE (dietary folate equivalents) of folate per tablet in the bioactive (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid form — the metabolically active form that the body can utilise directly. Unlike standard folic acid, which requires enzymatic conversion before use, this highly bioavailable form is ready for the body to put to work straight away, making it a practical choice for those who wish to support their daily folate intake.
Folate contributes to normal amino acid synthesis, normal blood formation, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It also contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, normal psychological function, and to the normal function of the immune system. Folate plays a role in the process of cell division and is especially important during periods of increased nutritional need.
Presented as convenient vegetarian tablets and formulated without unnecessary fillers, Optimized Folate by Life Extension is suitable for vegetarians and is free from gluten and GMO ingredients. With 100 tablets per pack, a single pack provides a 100-day supply at the recommended one-tablet-per-day serving.
