5-MTHF 1 mg (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) is a bioactive, methylated form of folate that offers targeted nutritional support for heart, brain, and bone health. This essential B vitamin plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy methylation cycle and regulating homocysteine levels, which in turn supports cardiovascular function. It helps promote healthy blood, nerve cells, and neurotransmitter production, which are crucial for mood regulation and brain function.
For those with MTHFR gene mutations, this methylated folate offers optimal absorption and benefit, making it easier for the body to process. The 1 mg dose is particularly beneficial during pregnancy, supporting the healthy development of the fetal brain and spinal cord. With its wide-reaching benefits, 5-MTHF ensures a comprehensive approach to overall health, helping you maintain your physical and mental wellbeing.
What makes 5-MTHF 1 mg unique is that it provides folate in its active, methylated form—L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate—allowing the body to use it immediately without needing to convert it. This is especially important for individuals with MTHFR gene mutations who may struggle to process synthetic folic acid. Unlike standard folic acid supplements, this form supports optimal absorption and efficiency. By taking 5-MTHF, you give your body direct access to the form of folate it needs to support heart health, mood balance, and fetal development.
