5-MTHF — Active Methylfolate (L-Methylfolate)

5-MTHF supplies L-methylfolate, the active form of folate your body uses directly, with no conversion step required.*

What it supports

• Healthy serum folate*
• Methylation*
• The conversion of homocysteine to methionine*
• Nervous system and oral health*
• Normal cellular proliferation, including red blood cells*
• A healthy pregnancy outcome*

Why the active form

Folic acid, the form used in most supplements and fortified foods, has to be converted by the body before it can be used. L-methylfolate is already in the usable form, so no conversion step is needed.*

This is the reason people who have been told they carry an MTHFR variant are often pointed toward methylfolate specifically. Whether that applies to you is a question for a pharmacist or your prescriber.

How to take it

60 capsules per bottle. Follow the serving directions on the label, or the guidance from your prescriber.

Taking it alongside a B complex or a prenatal?

It is easy to double up on folate without meaning to. Bring us both labels, or read them out on the phone. 405-751-3333.

5-MTHF, provided as Quatrefolic, is the most biologically active form of the water-soluble B vitamin, folic acid. It is the preferred form of folate supplementation due to an array of conditions that can limit conversion or absorption of folic acid. Data indicate that supplementing with 5-MTHF increases plasma folate more effectively than folic acid.
