Active folic acid (L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate) is essential for prenatal health, embryonic nervous-system development, and guarding against neural-tube deficiency.

When taken before conception and during early pregnancy, L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate helps decrease the risk of neural-tube defects. Additionally, it supports body-tissue growth and renewal; moreover, it facilitates the body's metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. This enables cells to readily absorb and utilize nutrients for energy production within their mitochondria (cellular power plants). Supplementing with active folic acid can also be advantageous for many individuals with impaired function of the enzyme responsible for converting regular folic acid into this active form recognized and utilized by the body. The formula incorporates premium bioactive forms of vitamins B12 and B6, namely methylcobalamin and pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (P5P), which act as cofactors for metabolic activity throughout the body.
