What’s important when discussing folate (as folic acid, methylfolate, or any other form) is blood levels of folate. In other words, regardless of the form and differences in bioavailability, dosages, etc, the goal is to have adequate blood folate levels. Even with the MTHFR C677T variant...
Inability to turn vitamin B9 (folate) into its active form (methylfolate), meaning your body won't be able to benefit from this important vitamin Cognitive and mood disorders Methylation is important for balanced hormone metabolism and detoxification from harmful substances ...
Unfortunately, the system that produces SAMe is reliant on one switch being turned on by a critical B vitamin, 5-MTHF (also known as active folate or methylfolate). Simply put, if enough 5-MTHF is present, the methylation cycle will work efficiently. Folic acid from the diet or supplements...
