What the Research Shows
Folinic acid (5-formyltetrahydrofolate) is a reduced folate form that enters the folate cycle without requiring DHFR or MTHFR enzymes. It serves as an alternative active folate for individuals who do not tolerate methylfolate (5-MTHF). Research supports its clinical use alongside methylfolate in comprehensive methylation support protocols.
