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.

Magnafolate® is the patent protected C crystal form L-5-MTHF which is the most active form of reduced folate circulating in plasma. If you use Magnafolate, it can be absorbeed directly by your body.
