Main Product Description
AOR® BioFolate™ (1 mg)
Bioactive Folate and Vitamin B12
BioFolate™ provides vegan, biologically active forms of folate (vitamin B9) and vitamin B12 in researched doses to support cellular function, cardiovascular health, and prenatal wellness.
Folate is an essential water-soluble vitamin required for DNA and RNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and proper genetic expression.
Since the body cannot produce folate on its own, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation.
AOR’s BioFolate™ features L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), the bioactive form of folate that the body can use directly, ensuring superior absorption and effectiveness — even for those with the MTHFR genetic mutation.
Key Benefits
- Supports healthy fetal development during pregnancy
- Helps prevent neural tube defects in the developing fetus
- Promotes cardiovascular health by supporting normal homocysteine metabolism
- Enhances red blood cell formation and energy metabolism
- Supports DNA synthesis, cell repair, and proper genetic function
- Contains active forms of folate (L-5-MTHF) and vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin)
- Vegan, Non-GMO, and Gluten-Free
Mechanism of Action
L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) is the metabolically active form of folate used directly by the body in critical methylation reactions that regulate DNA synthesis and neurotransmitter balance. Unlike synthetic folic acid, L-5-MTHF bypasses enzymatic conversion steps that some individuals cannot efficiently perform due to MTHFR gene variations. The inclusion of a small amount of active vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) ensures balanced methylation support and prevents masking of potential B12 deficiency during folate supplementation.
AOR Advantage
AOR® BioFolate™ delivers a synergistic combination of high-purity L-5-MTHF (greater than 99% pure) and methylcobalamin (active B12) for optimal bioavailability and safety. This formula provides an efficient and well-tolerated solution for maintaining healthy folate and B12 levels, particularly for individuals with poor folate metabolism, increased physiological demand, or prenatal needs.
