Maintain Normal Homocysteine -  Critical To Lower Inflammation

Methyl Folate For Your Heart: Homocysteine is a toxic amino acid that forms in your body by the normal process of other amino acids breaking down in your blood. Deficiencies of the vitamins folic acid (B9), pyridoxine (B6), or B12 can lead to high homocysteine levels. Some important benefits of Methyl Folate:

• Supports cardiovascular health
• Boosts brain health, cognitive functions
• Helps maintain already-healthy homocysteine levels
• Overcome enzyme inefficiency.

High blood levels of homocysteine have been linked to:

• Higher risk of heart and vessel disease (even more of a threat to heart health than high cholesterol).
• Cardiovascular system damage, when combined with excessive serum cholesterol.
• Independent risk factor for the development of heart and brain diseases and stress.
• Damage to cells that line veins or arteries and stimulates the development of scar tissue in the damaged area.

Folate refers to the water-soluble vitamin B9 that occurs naturally in food. Most adults need 400 mcg DFE (dietary folate equivalent) of folate each day, and we absorb about 50% of the folate available in food.

Methylfolate is the active and natural form of folate, also known as vitamin B9. It’s is the only form of folate that can cross the blood-brain barrier to help facilitate the synthesis of the neurotransmitters: serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are associated with mood regulation.

When we take folic acid supplement or eat folic acid fortified foods, we rely on Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), a gene and enzyme found throughout the body that converts folic acid to its active form, L-methylfolate.

For those who have a gene mutation affecting the MTHFR enzyme, their bodies are unable to convert folic acid to methylfolate. For this reason, it’s important for them to take Methyl Folate rather than just folic acid in order for their bodies to utilize the vitamin. If someone with a gene mutation or digestive condition takes folic acid, this can result in unmetabolized folic acid which has been linked to poor immune function and a variety of other health conditions.
