MethylProL-Methylfolate 15 mg

DFE stands for Dietary Folate Equivalent and is an American calculation method for folate intake. In the EU, it is not common and not necessary to list DFE on the label. On European labels, folate is expressed in micrograms (µg).

Folate is an important vitamin, but caution is needed with high doses. This product contains 15,000 mcg of folate per daily serving, which is higher than the amount suitable for long-term daily use. That is why this product is intended for temporary use or use on the advice of an expert.

Folate and folic acid are not exactly the same. Folic acid is a synthetic form often used in supplements. L-methylfolate is the active form used by the body and has a different chemical structure.

The vitamin naturally occurs in foods such as green leafy vegetables, legumes, citrus fruits, and organ meats. In these products, folate is present in various natural forms.

L-Methylfolate itself is usually not directly obtained from food. It is a form that arises within natural biological processes and is therefore often used as a separate ingredient in supplements.

Glycine is an amino acid. Glycine is found in many protein-rich foods, both of animal and plant origin.

Glycine is classified as a non-essential amino acid. This means that it is not part of the group of amino acids that must be obtained exclusively through the diet.
