Life Extension BioActive Folate & Vitamin B12 capsules contain the biologically active forms of folate (as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate) and vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin).

5-methyltetrahydrofolate or 5-MTHF is the metabolically active form of folic acidit is the only form of folate used directly by the body and does not require metabolic conversion or activation. 5-MTHF is seven times more bioavailable than folic acid. 5-MTHF can cross the blood-brain barrier which allows 5-MTHF specifically to benefit the neurological system.

Methylcobalamin is the bioactive form of B12 that is readily utilized in the body and the central nervous system.
