5-methylfolate
Used for: Supplementing active folate for people with MTHFR gene variants
Praised: Bypasses impaired conversion of dietary folate
vs: Compared with folate from food, which MTHFR carriers convert poorly
"If you have a gene that is called MTHFR, it means you can't convert the folate from your food very well into the folate that's active in your body, 5-methylfolate, so you need to take the pre-formed version as a supplement."

Used for: Lowering homocysteine to support brain health
Praised: Brain scans showed improvement when nutrients were brought back into range
"So if someone was taking folate or the B vitamins, it can lower your homocysteine, and these have been used in clinical trials."
