Methylfolate is the biologically active, natural form of folate required for fundamental body functions such as cell division and the synthesis of neurotransmitters and DNA. The folates and folic acid contained in our foods and supplements must be converted to their active form in the body. Some people lack the enzymes needed to carry out this conversion. Methylfolate bypasses this step, which can be difficult for some individuals, and provides a biologically active form of folic acid. Unlike ordinary folic acid, Methylfolate has been shown to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. Quatrefolic® is a patented form of methylfolate that has demonstrated superior bioavailability to folate from dietary sources. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
