Once ingested, yLife Extension's body is supposed to convert folic acid, a synthetic version of folate, into 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, or 5-MTHF. But research shows that many people lack sufficient activity of the enzyme that's necessary to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF.\u003csup\u003e1-3\u003c\/sup\u003e A more useful approach is to take 5-MTHF directly.\u003csup\u003e4-6\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5-MTHF, homocysteine \u0026amp; cardiovascular health\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolate helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels already within the normal range.
