5-MTHF 5 mg - 60 Capsules

Active folate supplementation for mood, heart health, fetal development and nerve support*

5-MTHF is an important B vitamin that plays a crucial role in supporting metabolic processes such as methylation. Unfortunately, many individuals don't get enough of this nutrient due to various factors like intestinal or liver issues and genetic makeup. Supplementing with 5-MTHF can ensure adequate intake for optimal health benefits!

Over half of the American population may not be receiving adequate amounts of L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (a form of folic acid) due to genetic, intestinal or liver dysfunction. As this essential vitamin can reduce the risk for neural tube defects in infants and promote healthy mood regulation through serotonin production, it is strongly recommended that all women who are considering motherhood should supplement with 5-MTHF as per Centers for Disease Control guidelines.

Supporting a healthy pregnancy requires appropriate supplementation. For optimal fetal health, 1 mg of 5-MTHF is generally recommended for use throughout the gestation period; though in certain cases 15mg may be prescribed by your healthcare provider.

For any woman of childbearing age, proper folic acid intake is essential – regardless if pregnancy plans are made or not. Studies show that the most critical time for supplementing with 5-MTHF (L-5 Methyltetrahydrofolate)– the active form of folate - is before and early on in a pregnancy. Unfortunately, this period often goes undetected as half of pregnancies come unexpectedly so it's important to ensure adequate folic acid intake each day.

Vitamin B12 teamed up with 5-MTHF to form a powerful duo that works together to keep your body healthy. Through its ability to provide methyl-groups, it helps turn homocysteine into methionine and also plays an important role in synthesizing various compounds like serotonin, melatonin, and DNA -all of which are essential for maintaining optimum health. Allowing elevated levels of homocysteine can increase the risk of developing unwanted conditions.
