## About
Barely larger than a caraway seed, this capsule holds a fine powder the color of old ivory. It is the kind of thing you take with breakfast and forget, which is exactly as it should be.Folate takes its name from the Latin folium, leaf, because early chemists first drew it out of spinach in the last century: an unglamorous, leafy origin for a nutrient the body cannot make on its own. This is methylfolate, 5-MTHF in the trade's shorthand, the form folate takes after the liver has already converted it, rather than the folic acid found in fortified bread and cheap tablets, which the body must still process before it can use it. Ours is produced through a slow fermentation process, closer to how a leaf would make it than how a factory would.DetailsForm: L-methylfolate (5-MTHF), the active form of folateMade by: Slow fermentationFormat: Small capsulesHow to useTake one capsule with breakfast, alongside the day's other quiet habits, as part of a balanced daily routine.A small, pale habit, easy to keep for the long view.
