Folate is an essential nutrient that is needed for normal cell division and DNA repair.* Folate is usually taken as folic acid, which must be reduced in the body to the metabolically active form 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to be absorbed into the bloodstream and utilized by the tissues. Those needing high amounts of folate can avoid getting a build-up of unmetabolized folic acid in the bloodstream by taking 5-MTHF.* Some who have a genetic variation that hinders the use of folic acid may also find 5-MTHF is preferable.* 5-MTHF donates the methyl group needed to convert homocysteine to methionine. Vitamin B-12 is also required for the catalyst methionine synthase. This methionine synthesis cycle maintains methylation of DNA and regulates homocysteine metabolism.* Folate and vitamin B12 are also required for the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe).
