A poor diet and alcohol consumption can contribute to a folate deficiency as well as difficulty absorbing folate-rich foods such as dark leafy greens and citrus fruits. If you’re feeling chronically fatigued, weak, and irritable, you may need to supplement your folate intake. 5-Methyl Folate 1,000 mcg by Protocol for Life Balance provide metabolically active folate to ensure your body can easily assimilate the folic acid. To reap the positive benefits of folate, your body must convert it to its active form, 5-MTHF, but some of us are not able to do this effectively from our food sources. Using the bioavailable form of folate in Protocol for Life Balance’s 5-Methyl Folate 1,000 mcg can help you get the folic acid your body needs and use it properly for optimal benefits.
The benefits of taking 5-Methyl Folate may include:
- Relief from fatigue
- Improved mood
- Support for energy
