Quatrefolic® 5-MTHF
5-Methyltetrahydrofolate
Quatrefolic® 5-MTHF is a highly bioavailable form of folate, the natural form of vitamin B9. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF does not require conversion in the body, making it readily available for cellular processes. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation, which are critical for cellular function and overall metabolic health. It also plays a vital role in the production of red blood cells and the prevention of anemia.
Folate is particularly important for maintaining cardiovascular health, as it helps regulate homocysteine levels, an amino acid linked to an increased risk of heart disease. By supporting DNA synthesis and cellular function, 5-MTHF contributes to overall health and well-being. Its role in methylation also impacts numerous biological processes, including detoxification and neurotransmitter synthesis.
Why We Use it
Quatrefolic® 5-MTHF is included in VulcanSlim's formula for its essential role in supporting metabolic health, DNA synthesis, and energy production. For men over 40, maintaining adequate folate levels is crucial for preventing the cellular and metabolic declines associated with aging. By providing a highly bioavailable form of folate, VulcanSlim ensures that users receive the full benefits of this essential nutrient, supporting overall vitality and well-being.
