Dietary Supplements Dr. Mercola has been providing quality products since 2001. Just living in today’s world assures a hefty exposure to heavy metals and harmful chemicals. From the food you eat to the air you breathe to your home furnishings, you can take in a wide array of toxins daily. One such toxin that’s particularly harmful, glyphosate, has been discovered in 76% of tested human urine samples. As it’s used pervasively in genetically engineered (GE) crops and is now applied to more than 120 non-GE crops as well, it’s not an easy task avoiding this “probable carcinogen.” Add to that exposure the heavy metals, like mercury, aluminum, cadmium, arsenic and lead, that can deposit in your bones, gut, brain, kidneys and tissues from food, water, dental fillings, personal care items and household essentials. It can feel like a never-ending struggle to get rid of them. The good news is, there’s a little-known form of folate that can help your body purge these unwanted substances.* Many people supplement with the wrong type – folic acid – which can actually make matters worse and prevent your body from using the right kind of folate. Our Methyl Folate contains 5-MTHF folate, the right kind of folate that can… Help your tissues and cells dispose of, or release, unwanted substances, such as glyphosate, heavy metals and potentially harmful chemicals. Provide your cells and tissues with the proper and bioavailable form of folate for healthy cell growth and division. Assist your body with proper methylation and reduce the load on your liver to help preserve its supply of methyl and glutathione. This unique form of folate is especially key if you’re are one of the estimated 40 to 50% of individuals who may have a mutation in the gene that controls your body’s methylation cycle. Folate with 5-MTHF is the form you need to support the proper removal of heavy metals and chemicals like glyphosate from your body. By supplementing with our Methyl Folate, you ease the unwanted stress on your liver to help it do one of its most important jobs – help your body cleanse itself and remove cell-harming toxins.* Animal and human studies on our 5-MTHF Methyl Folate show it has an enhanced oral bioavailability compared to folic acid and other forms of reduced folate.* Plus, it passes the gastric barrier and is absorbed mainly in the small intestine, ensuring a higher folate uptake.
