Cytoplan, Methylfolate - 60 Veg Capsules

Cytoplan Methylfolate: The Bio-Effective, Active Form of Folate

Cytoplan Methylfolate is a premium supplement providing 400ug of folic acid per capsule in a wholefood, stable, and active form. This superior formulation is designed to be better used by your body than conventional folic acid, as it is already in the active state, ready for immediate use. It expertly fulfils all the known functions and uses of folic acid, but with enhanced bioavailability.

Folate vs. Folic Acid: The Key Difference

Many supplements contain synthetic folic acid, which must undergo several complex steps within the body to be converted into its active form: 5-MTHF (Methylfolate). The final and most crucial step in this conversion is carried out by an enzyme called MTHFR. However, some individuals have genetic variations that can reduce the efficiency of this enzyme, making it difficult for their bodies to effectively convert folic acid.

Cytoplan Methylfolate bypasses this conversion process entirely. It is already in the active form, 5-MTHF, which means it is immediately ready for use by the body, ensuring maximum benefit and efficacy.

The Critical Role of Folate & Methylation

Folate is a cornerstone nutrient for numerous vital bodily functions. It contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, a process crucial for heart and cognitive health, as high homocysteine levels are a risk factor for several chronic diseases.

Folate is also a key player in the methylation cycle, a chemical process that occurs billions of times a second in every cell. This process is essential for the proper functioning of almost all body systems, including:

• Detoxification: Assisting the body in neutralising environmental toxins.
• Hormone Regulation: Supporting balanced hormonal function.
• Energy Production: Contributing to the body's energy-yielding metabolism.
• Neurotransmitter Production: Aiding in the synthesis of mood-regulating compounds.
• Immune Cell Production: Supporting a healthy and robust immune system.

The methylation process involves the transfer of 'methyl groups' to and from compounds, allowing them to work optimally. Methyl donors like folate, B12, and B6 are vital to this process and, by extension, to normal homocysteine metabolism.

Key Benefits of Cytoplan Methylfolate:

• Normal Psychological Function: Contributes to a balanced mood and mental well-being.
• Blood Formation: Supports normal blood formation.
• Homocysteine Metabolism: Aids in the healthy metabolism of homocysteine.
• Maternal Tissue Growth: Crucial for maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
• Immune System Function: Supports the normal function of the immune system.
• Amino Acid Synthesis: Contributes to the synthesis of amino acids.
• Reduction of Tiredness & Fatigue: Aids in reducing feelings of tiredness and fatigue.
• Cell Division: Has a vital role in the process of cell division.
  

Why It's the Best Folate for Pregnancy

Supplementing with folate during preconception and pregnancy is essential, as low levels in the mother are a significant risk factor in the development of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, in the developing foetus. Cytoplan Methylfolate provides this crucial nutrient in the most readily available and bio-effective form, giving mothers-to-be the confidence they are providing the best possible support for their baby's healthy development.

Choose Cytoplan Methylfolate for a bio-effective, trusted, and active form of folate that your body can use immediately and efficiently.
