Customer Reviews of Life Extension Optimized Folate (l-methylfolate), 1000 Mcg, Vegetarian Capsules, 100-Count
Customer Review: Essential in Celiac Disease/Gluten Intollerance
Summary: 5 Stars
When my doctor informed me of my diagnosis of celiac disease, the first thing he said was, "you need methylfolate." The reason is that the folate molecule is carried on a chain of gluten molecules. If you can't process gluten, you cannot access folate. In the methyl version, the folate is freed (optimized) from the gluten molecule and is now available for use throughout the body.
I began taking methylfolate because I had celiac psychosis. It is caused by a lack of neurotransmitters in the brain. Most neurotransmitters are built on folate (nor-epinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, etc) Long-time undiagnosed celiacs cannot build neurotransmitters because of the inability to access folate. The methyl form prevents and reverses celiac psychosis.
Folate is essential to the repair of the gut lining and immune system, both of which are destroyed in celiac disease. I hope this product restores your health as it has mine. It probably saved my life. (don't forget to maintain gluten-free diet for a lifetime as well - but take this product!!)

Description of Life Extension Optimized Folate (l-methylfolate), 1000 Mcg, Vegetarian Capsules, 100-Count
Optimized Folate (L-Methylfolate), 1000 mcg, 100 vegetarian capsules Optimized Folate (L-Methylfolate)1000 mcg, 100 vegetarian capsulesItem Catalog Number: 01312 Folate is involved in neurotransmitter synthesis and critical enzymatic reactions throughout the body. By depleting excess homocysteine, folate benefits cardiovascular health and nervous system function. Those who take ordinary folic acid supplements, however, may not be experiencing its full spectrum of effects. This is because once ingested, not everyone converts folate to its biologically active form called 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). Research shows that in a large proportion of the population, genetic enzyme deficiencies prevent the conversion of folate to 5-MTHF, leaving many vulnerable to low blood folate levels (and higher than desired homocysteine). A more useful approach is to take the bioactive folate 5-MTHF directly, which has been declassified as a drug and is now available as a dietary supplement. 5-MTHF has been shown to dramatically raise blood serum folate levels compared with folic acid supplementation. This bioactive folate is up to seven times more bioavailable than folic acid. This greater bioavailability is especially important in people who have a genetic enzyme deficiency since it requires no conversion to become metabolically activeVitamins
