Did you know 40%-60% of the population can’t absorb folic acid?
Folic acid is the man-made version of the vitamin folate. It must first be converted into the active folate form, known as L-5-MTHF (short for L- 5-methyltetrahydrofolate). Over 30% of the global population has a genetic mutation to MTHFR, specifically C677T, that doesn’t allow their bodies to convert folic acid to active folate (L-5-MTHF). This means the only way to supplement folate is with L-5-MTHF as it is the exact form the body needs, and it bypasses the genetic mutation.

Do you know what potential health risks bring by folic acid?
There is widespread agreement that maintaining adequate folate status is critical to prevent diseases due to folate inadequacy (e.g., anemia, birth defects, and cancer). However, there are concerns of potential adverse effects of excess folic acid intake and/or elevated folate status, with the original concern focused on exacerbation of clinical effects of vitamin B-12 deficiency and its role in neurocognitive health. More recently, animal and observational studies have suggested potential adverse effects on cancer risk, birth outcomes, and other diseases.
