Great post by @willthewallace ! @atp_labs We only use patented ACTIVE FORM VITAMINS like #METAFOLIN #methylfolate in our TOTAL DEFENSE vitamin system! Don’t compromise your #health with poorly formulated multi-vitamins! #atp_labs #Repost @willthewallace ・・・ Folate plays a part in just about every chemical reaction in your brain. Folate deficiency is found in almost 30% of the general population, particularly those diagnosed with depression. Many people confuse folate with folic acid. However, there's a major difference.... - Folic acid refers to a synthetic compound that is found in most supplements and vitamin enriched foods. It must go through a conversion process in the liver to convert to THF (tetrahydrofolate). Unfortunately, close to 60% of people lack the enzyme activity to make this conversion. Thus, many of us have a build up of folic acid yet we have a folate deficiency. High levels of synthetic folic acid and low folate levels actually increase your risk of cancer and immune dysfunction. - In contrast, supplemental Methyl-folate bypasses part of the conversion process in the liver (the one where we arent good at converting folic acid to THF) and is ready to use. Thus, giving us more of the useful byproducts of folate. methyl-folate should be our choice of folate when supplementing. - Methyl-folate's Increase: *Formation of phospholipids *Synthesis of chemicals necessary for neurotransmitter production *Synthesis of DNA and RNA *Red and white blood cells * Recycling and reduction the inflammatory amino acid, homocysteine (involved in heart disease).
