5-MTHF THE ACTIVE FORM OF FOLIC ACID - The terms folate/folic acid are often interchangeably used to describe B9, but they are not all the same. Supplements called "folic acid" likely only contain pteroylmonoglutamic acid, this form once consumed needs to be converted in the liver or other tissues to the active form 5-MTHF. Folate (5-MTHF) is the active form of folic acid called 5-MTHF (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, L-Methylfolate), this is the biologically active form which is better absorbed.
