- This is because folic acid is itself not biologically active, but its biological importance is due to its active form called 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) after its conversion to dihydrofolic acid in the liver.
- 9 Research shows that in a large proportion of the population, genetic dihydrofolate reductase enzyme deficiencies limited the conversion of folate to 5-MTHF, leaving many vulnerable to low blood 5-MTHF levels (and higher than desired homocysteine). A more useful approach is to take the bioactive folate 5-MTHF directly, which has been declassified as a drug and is now available as a dietary supplement. 5-MTHF has been shown to dramatically raise red blood cell folate levels10 compared with foli
