Vimergy 5-MTHF – 60 capsules

Folate is a vital vitamin. It is required for cell polarisation and the synthesis of amino acids and nucleic acids. Methylfolate regulates the synthesis of three important neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. If you’re looking for support for brain health and cognitive function (memory, attention and concentration), 5-MTHF can help. In addition, 5-MTHF helps to keep homocysteine levels in the body normal.

(Folate vs folic acid – what’s the difference? Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9 and folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9. 5-MTHF is an actinic form of folate, or a highly absorbable form. Folic acid cannot be utilized by the body until it has been converted into methylfolate.

More about folate and methyl folate:

• Methylfolate is the active form of folate that the body can use immediately. Folic acid – a synthetic form of folate – is not usable by the body until it has been converted to methyl folate.
• Methylfolate is able to enter the brain instantly. However, folic acid must first be converted into methylfolate before it can pass through the brain barrier.
• Methyl folate regulates the synthesis of three important neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters are serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.
• Folate is essential for the synthesis of amino acids and nucleic acids. Too little folic acid in the body can cause dangerous changes in DNA and protein synthesis.
• Folate is essential for cell polarisation.
• Women who consume adequate amounts of folate during pregnancy can reduce the risk of having a baby with neural tube defects. Folate is found in many fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products, and it can also be taken as a supplement.
• Vitamin B12 is needed by the body to produce energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins.
• Vitamin B12 is essential for a well-functioning metabolism.
