Why is the folate in Seeking Health products synthesized?Updated 4 months ago

Metafolin, folinic acid, and L-5-MTHF are all forms of folate used in Seeking Health products. They are forms that are naturally found in the body, or "readily available" forms. However, these forms are not found in nature, such as dark leafy greens, so they cannot be naturally-derived and made into a supplement. In order to get these "readily available" forms, the body must take food folate and convert it into these forms. Therefore, Metafolin, folinic acid, and L-5-MTHF must by synthesized in a lab.
