Cooper Complete Methyl Folate 5 mg (5000 mcg) Pack of 1

- NATURAL FORM: Provides folate as calcium methylfolate, the natural occuring form of folate. - BIOAVAILABLE FOLATE: provides folate as methylfolate, a form that the body can directly use without needing to convert it enzymatically to 5-methylfolate. This helps support efficient nutrient utilization for those who may have difficulty processing synthetic folic acid. - SUPPORTS MOOD HEALTH: Folate plays a vital role in the production of neurotransmitters that help regulate mood and emotional well-being. Adequate folate levels are important for maintaining a balanced and healthy mood. - SUPPORTS CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH: Folate contributes to the normal function of the cardiovascular system by helping regulate homocysteine levels, which is important for heart and blood vessel health. - SUPPORTS NERVE FUNCTION: Folate is essential for maintaining the health of the nervous system, supporting nerve function, and promoting proper communication between nerve cells. - HIGH-QUALITY GUARANTEE: Cooper Complete Methyl Folate is made from the highest quality ingredients available and is manufactured in a cGMP-compliant facility in the USA. - TRUSTED EXPERTS: The foundation for Cooper Complete was established when Kenneth H.

FAQ's

Q: Is Methyl Folate the same thing as folic acid?

A: No, they are different forms of vitamin B9 (not B6). Methyl folate (also known as 5-MTHF) is the active, bioavailable form of folate found naturally in food, while folic acid is a synthetic form commonly used in fortified foods and supplements.Folic acid must be converted into methyl folate in the body before it can be used. Some individuals have a common genetic variation (MTHFR mutation) that may limit their ability to make this conversion efficiently.

Q: The supplement facts say DFE. What is DFE?

A: DFE stands for Dietary Folate Equivalent. This unit helps account for differences in the bioavailability of folate from food versus folic acid and methyl folate in supplements. It is used to standardize how much folate you are actully getting, regardless of the source.posed to make it easier to determine overall folate received from food sources and supplements.

Q: Why do you refer to Vitamin B6 as methyl folate rather than folic acid?

A: Methyl Folate is the naturally occurring form of vitamin B9 (folate), whereas folic acid (the synthetic form) must first be converted into methyl folate. This is important for individuals who have difficulty converting folic acid due to genetic factors. Almost half the population has a gene mutation that prohibits the body from converting and using folic acid.
