Most supplements use folic acid because it's cheap, Neuro Nutrients doesn’t. Dr. Emily Gutierrez, (DNP, C-PNP, APRN, FMCP-M), founder of Neuronutrition Associates and formulator and co-founder of Neuro Nutrients, takes a different approach.
Instead, our products deliver folate as a combination of both 5-MTHF and folinic acid, the active forms of folate your brain can actually process. This is because your brain has two separate pathways for absorbing folate, and 5-MTHF and folinic acid each enter through a different one. Using both forms provides folate in forms that match the pathways the body uses for folate transport and utilization.
