Methyl Folate L-5-MTHF (1,000 mcg of Metafolin®) 60 Tablets

Folate, or folic acid, is one of the most important B-vitamins. For one thing, it’s essential for development of a baby’s growing brain during pregnancy—requirements that increase significantly during the third trimester. In combination with vitamins C and B-12, folate helps produce proteins. Perhaps most vital is its stimulation of red blood cell production and assistance in production of DNA; due to its involvement in the former, a folic acid shortage may result in anemia. Although leafy green vegetables are among the dietary sources of this nutrient, you may still need a supplement to avoid a deficiency.

You’re especially susceptible to becoming deficient in folate because, like other water-soluble vitamins, your body can’t store it for longer than one day. Some days are more hectic than others, which may prevent you from eating a balanced diet. Eating overcooked food, taking certain medications, or excess alcohol intake can also contribute to such a deficiency. Celiac disease is another risk factor; fortunately, PureFormulas’ Methyl Folate L-5-MTHF 1000 mcg Metafolin® tablets are gluten-free!

Each dose of PureFormulas’ Methyl Folate L-5-MTHF supplement provides a whopping 1,000 micrograms of folate in the form of Metafolin®. Metafolin®is a specially formulated version of L-methylfolate.

At the recommended dosage of one tablet daily, one 60-tablet bottle should last you for about two months.
