Ultra Preventive Tee, is unique vitamin-mineral-trace element supplement designed for teenagers. The EZ swallow tablets are naturally coated with a vanilla flavor, and smaller in size than adult tablets. The EZ tablets provide over 30 vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other nutrients in bioavailable forms, such as Metafolin?, the bioactive form of folate. Metafolin ? or 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells and is essential for overall health, as it participates as a cofactor in a reaction that involves the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF can be used directly by the body, without the need for an additional conversion via the enzyme (5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)). In certain populations, the body?s ability to convert folic acid to 5-MTHF by use of this enzyme may be compromised due to genetic differences. Metafolin? contains only the S isomer of 5-MTHF and has been shown to be the only form of folate to be able to cross the blood-brain barrier.
