Folate is an architect of life, an essential nutrient that supports important cellular functions like respiration, metabolism, and methylation. Methylation, an epigenetic mechanism, affects how cells are made in our bodies. It’s when a molecule called a methyl group (CH3) is added to molecules like DNA, changing how it acts in the body. But when we supplement with folic acid it must be converted into the active form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), to contribute to the methylation reactions in the body. Optifolin ® is a new generation of folate enriched with VitaCholine® that both function as methyl donors contributing to methylation. When optimal methylation happens, it has a positive impact on the bodily processes we depend on.
