Does the form of folate matter?

The short answer: Yes. Folic acid is the form used in many supplements because it’s highly stable. The caveat? Once folic acid enters a cell, it needs to be converted into 6S-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF) by several key enzymes before your body can use it. And up to one-third of men and women have a genetic variation that can impact the last step of the conversion.

When formulating our multivitamins, we decided to include a more bioavailable form of folate: MTHF. Unlike folic acid itself, it doesn’t need to go through enzyme conversion—which means that it's the form that can be efficiently utilized by those of us with that common MTHFR gene variant.
