Search Results for "L-5-Methylfolate"

Vitamin B9 is the body’s methylation fuel for building DNA and new cells. Think of it as construction materials for fast‑growing tissues—especially early pregnancy and blood cells—and a key lever for turning down homocysteine, a cardiovascular risk marker. Certain forms (like L‑methylfolate) can also support brain chemistry when standard antidepressants fall short.

• Prevent neural tube defects when taken before and during early pregnancy
• Lower elevated homocysteine
• Reduce risk of first stroke in low‑folate populations with hypertension
• Prevent or correct folate‑deficiency (megaloblastic) anemia
• Augment antidepressant treatment in people who don’t fully respond to an SSRI/SNRI

Evidence

This is the “ready‑to‑use” form of folate (vitamin B9) delivered as a glucosamine salt for stability and absorption. Think of it as a methyl‑donor cartridge for your one‑carbon/methylation system, feeding DNA synthesis and helping recycle homocysteine back to methionine. People choose it when they want active folate without relying on folic‑acid conversion.

• Lower elevated homocysteine
• Support mood when added to antidepressants
• Build folate status for preconception and pregnancy
• Support healthy homocysteine in people with MTHFR variants
