Folate is one of the most essential nutrients your body depends on for growth and maintenance at the cellular level. Known as Vitamin B9, folate helps support DNA synthesis, cell division, and the formation of red blood cells, processes happening continuously throughout the body.
Every day, your body replaces millions of cells. Folate helps make this possible by supporting the production and repair of genetic material. This is why adequate folate intake is important not only during periods of growth, but throughout adulthood as part of normal cellular maintenance.
Folate also works closely with vitamins B6 and B12 in pathways involved in amino acid metabolism and normal homocysteine metabolism, supporting overall cardiovascular and metabolic health.
ONE SCOOP WONDER® Collagen + so much more includes 730 mcg DFE of folate per serving, providing 183% of the Daily Value.
Importantly, the folate in the formula is provided as L-5-Methyl-THF, a biologically active form that the body can utilize directly. This form bypasses the conversion step required for folic acid, making it usable immediately within normal metabolic pathways.
Folate is Vitamin B9, but it exists in multiple forms. Many supplements use folic acid, a synthetic form that must first be converted by the body before it can be used. L-5-Methyl-THF is the biologically active form of folate, meaning it is already in a form the body can utilize in normal metabolic pathways.
This matters because folate plays an important role in:
• DNA synthesis and cellular growth
• Normal red blood cell formation
• Amino acid metabolism
• Normal homocysteine metabolism
