You need supplementary l-5-methylfolate

The folate we obtain from the diet must be converted to its active form – called L-5-methylfolate – before it can help power the methylation cycle. However, approximately 60% of U.S. adults have a genetic mutation that makes it challenging for their bodies to create enough L-5-methylfolate from dietary sources.

So a person could be eating all the best food sources – leafy green vegetables, asparagus, avocado, broccoli, legumes, etc. – and still be deficient in L-5-methylfolate.

A person might also have a L-5-methylfolate deficiency caused by the use of an acid-blocking agent, certain anti-seizure medications, liver dysfunction, or a gastrointestinal disorder such as inflammatory bowel disease that results in poor absorption.

That’s why simply supplementing with just any folate supplement isn’t good enough. You need the most active and bioavailable form of folate(L-5-methylfolate).
