SPECIMEN #LIFE-EXT
VITAMINLife Extension
Life Extension Optimized Folate
High-potency folate for heart and brain health.. The database flagged this as underdosed due to a unit conversion error. 8.5 mg is actually 8,500 mcg. That is a massive, therapeutic dose of the bioactive L-5-MTHF form. It is perfect for those who need serious homocysteine support.
8.5/10
EXCELLENTFolate at 8500mcg DFE as 5-MTHF (methylfolate). This is well above the standard 800mcg optimal dose, but methylfolate at high doses is used therapeutically for MTHFR variants and depression augmentation. The bioactive form bypasses the MTHFR enzyme entirely. Well above the 1000mcg UL for folic acid, but methylfolate has a better safety profile than folic acid at high doses.
