Folate

L-methylfolate, the biologically active form of folate (vitamin B9). Essential for DNA synthesis, methylation, neurotransmitter production, and red blood cell formation. Bypasses MTHFR gene variants.

What it’s good for

Low MoodStrong

Folate is essential for SAMe synthesis, the primary methyl donor for monoamine neurotransmitter production (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine). Low folate status impairs methylation and is strongly associated with depression.
