Folic acid is important for supporting the production and maintenance of new cells. Supplementation is necessary because humans cannot synthesize folic acid. Kirkman® provides 5-MTHF, a more bioavailable form of folic acid.

5-MTHF (5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) is a form of folic acid, a water-soluble B vitamin that is naturally found in foods. Folic acid deficiency is known to be a common vitamin deficiency due to food processing, dietary choices, and intestinal disorders.

Biochemically, 5-MTHF supports cellular perception and response, methylation processes, and many enzymatic reactions. It is also associated with lower homocysteine ​​levels and red blood cell production, which supports cardiovascular health. Folic acid also aids the body in protein metabolism and the formation of DNA and RNA.
