NuMedica Methyl Folate Optimizer supports optimal methylation, cardiovascular, and nervous system health with advanced absorption technology and active B vitamins.*
NuMedica Methyl Folate Optimizer is an advanced supplement that supports optimal methylation and healthy homocysteine levels. Utilizing Quatrefolic®, the most biologically active form of folate, and methylcobalamin, the active form of vitamin B12, this comprehensive formula ensures rapid uptake and efficient utilization by the body. Enhanced with NuMedica's proprietary Enhanced Absorption Technology™ - a blend of AstraGin® and BioPerine® - this supplement significantly boosts folate absorption, making it an ideal choice for those seeking superior methylation support.
Methylation is a key biochemical process that affects numerous bodily functions, including DNA synthesis, detoxification, and neurotransmitter production. NuMedica Methyl Folate Optimizer supports methylation on two levels: it enhances intestinal folate absorption. It provides a form of folate that the body can use immediately without additional metabolic steps. This dual-action approach ensures optimal methylation and helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels, which is important for cardiovascular health.
Elevated homocysteine levels are linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes. NuMedica Methyl Folate Optimizer helps convert homocysteine into methionine, thereby supporting cardiovascular health. Additionally, folate and vitamin B12 are essential for brain health, providing neurological support that can benefit cognitive function and overall mental well-being.
Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is essential for numerous bodily functions. It is critical in converting homocysteine, an amino acid linked to heart disease, into methionine. Maintaining healthy homocysteine levels is vital for cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Folate is also needed for fetal development. Adequate folate intake before and during early pregnancy helps prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida in developing infants. These defects can lead to severe complications, including miscarriage. Ensuring sufficient folate levels supports a healthy pregnancy and fetal development.
Besides its cardiovascular and prenatal benefits, folate supports healthy cholesterol levels, provides neurological benefits, and may help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration, making it a vital nutrient for overall health.

Not realizing that i had a methylation problem, and then getting on the product has made a big difference in my ability to absorb all the supplements i take.
I'm certain it's doing something for me, but I don't feel any different. I have lost some weight due to the diet I'm on, maybe this helps with that. But I started taking this and several other supplements at the same time for low energy (doc's recommendation) and have not noticed any improvement in that. Customer service and ship times have been great though!
Great product!
I am sick with chronic fatigue and this formulation of L-methyl folate helps tremendously with the extreme fatigue.
