Description: The Multivitamin + 15 mg L-Methylfolate is a one-a-day answer to common nutritional needs of our MethylPro customers. It provides our most popular potency of L-methylfolate with a well-rounded multivitamin. The MethylPro^® Multivitamin will leave you prepared to meet the unpredictable demands of your day by providing essential nutrients to support balanced mood, reliable energy and immune health functions.

Unlike folic acid, the most common form of folate in supplements and fortified foods, L-methylfolate, does not require conversion by the MTHFR enzyme to be active in the body. A significant number of people have genetic variations that reduce the ability of the MTHFR enzyme to make this conversion. For this population, L-methylfolate supplementation may be a more effective form of folate.

Uses:

Mood and Energy Support

Mood: L-methylfolate provides folate in a highly bioavailable form that is able to cross the blood brain barrier. L-methylfolate is important for the normal production of mood-balancing neurotransmitters including serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine. Low levels of vitamin D and B12 have been associated with an increased risk of low mood.

Energy: The B vitamins thiamine, riboflavin, niacinamide, B-6, biotin and pantothenic acid are cofactors for enzymes needed for cellular energy production through metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats

Methylation Support: Methylation is a biochemical process involved in almost all the body’s functions. It is the addition of a single carbon and three hydrogen atoms (called a methyl group) to another molecule. Methylation is an important process in neurotransmitter production, DNA regulation and liver detoxification processes. This vitamin provides important support for methylation pathways including methyl donors and cofactors like folate, choline, B6, B12 and riboflavin.

Immune Support: MethylPro Multivitamin + 15 mg L-Methylfolate contains top nutrients involved in positive immune function including Vitamins A, C and D and zinc. Vitamin C and A are known for their positive effects on the human immune response and recent studies have shown a brighter light on vitamin D‘s important immune modulating activities. Zinc is a mineral required for several immune functions including healthy T lymphocyte activity.

Nutritional Support: MethyPro Multivitamin + 15 mg L-Methylfolate is a one-per-day multivitamin/mineral capsule containing key nutrients in their most bioavailable forms. Methyl Pro formulas contain the highest quality activated nutrients with no non-nutritive additives.
