High Potency Optimized Folate from Life Extension promotes cardiovascular and cognitive health by helping maintain healthy homocysteine levels—an important biomarker for both brain and heart wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is homocysteine?

Homocysteine is an amino acid that interacts with B vitamins and converts to methionine (a protein-building amino acid and antioxidant) and cysteine (an amino acid that supports liver health). Over time, homocysteine can accumulate in the bloodstream, potentially impacting cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and more.

What does “bioavailable” mean?

When something is bioavailable, it means that it’s more readily absorbed and used by the body. 

Directions

Take one (1) tablet daily with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.

This helps calm my busy mind at night
I learned this trick from Dr. Paul Saladino to take L-Methylfolate at night if you have genetic variants in the MTHFR and COMT. I often have issues with "wide awake" brain at bedtime as I'm not good at breaking down catecholamines including dopamine. This has been helping me sleep better immensely!!

Great Product.....Packaging Sucks
I take this every day. It's the only thing getting my homocysteine levels in the normal range. I can only buy 30 pills at once in a bottle that could easily hold 300. The amount of plastic going into the landfill by me taking this product is depressing. I need it for my health...the planter's health would fare better if this was offered in 90 or 120 pills per bottle or even larger ..
