What kind of folate do you use in Arise?

In true form, we use best-in-class food folate that promotes the highest absorption and bioavailability for your body. We DO NOT use synthetic or lab-created folate as it violates our fundamental naturopathic principle that Food is Medicine.

Our folate is a combination of naturally occurring methyl blended with non-methyl which is how food naturally produces folate and how our bodies receive the nutrients.

The use of “folic acid” on labeling is due to an FDA regulation that does not allow “food folate” to be used on a panel. Labelers therefore have the choice of using folic acid or methyl folate (the lab-created folate).For the folate, if you want strictly methylated folate it has to be lab created. There is no such thing as food sourced whole methylated folate. The body does not process purely methylated folate - folate found in food is a combination of methyl folate and folate so because ours is food sourced, it is a combination of methylated and non methylated exactly as it comes from food.
