Key Benefits
- Supports brain function and mood.
- Facilitates healthy methylation and homocysteine levels.
- Supports women's health and foetal development.
5-MTHF is the biologically active methylated form of folate that the body’s tissues can readily utilise. Many individuals do not receive sufficient 5-MTHF due to factors such as intestinal or liver dysfunction, or because they fall within the 60% of Americans who have genetic variations that hinder the conversion of folic acid into active 5-MTHF.
Adequate levels of 5-MTHF are essential for the production of key neurotransmitters like serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, and epinephrine, which are essential for maintaining healthy brain function and mood. In conjunction with vitamin B12, 5-MTHF serves as a vital methyl-group donor, promoting healthy methylation processes and balanced homocysteine levels. Adequate folic acid intake is especially important before conception and during early pregnancy, as its highest demand occurs during the first trimester, often before a woman realises she is pregnant. A deficiency in folic acid is associated with an increased risk of low-birth-weight infants and neural tube defects.
Thorne’s formula delivers 5 mg of active 5-MTHF to support foetal development and enhance heart, brain, and blood health. Its advanced formulation ensures maximum absorption in a small, easy-to-take capsule.

Ingredients
Interactions:
5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
