Advanced Adult Multivitamin & Mineral with 5-MTHF - 180 Capsules

Kirkman’s most recent iteration of its Advanced Adult Multi-Vitamin/Mineral formula contains 5-MTHF, a more bioavailable form of folate and an increased dose of B12 to ensure optimal absorption. Live your healthiest life with the nourishment you need!

This new Advanced Adult Multi-Vitamin/Mineral contains 5-MTHF, an active form of folate that is more easily absorbed by the body than folic acid. Unlike other dietary supplements on the market and most food products which contain synthetic B vitamins, this product provides natural forms of vitamin B like 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) and its relative 5 Formyltetrahydrofolate (folinic acid), for maximum absorption in your liver and gut!

Folic acid is an essential nutrient, yet if our bodies don't metabolize it properly due to a mutation in the MTHFR gene, we won't be able to access its full potential. This genetic mutation can impede folic acid's conversion into biologically active forms, making all those dietary antioxidants virtually useless. Such mutations must therefore be accounted for when assessing nutritional deficiencies and considering supplementation options.

Around 40 variants of the MTHFR gene can affect an individual's ability to convert folic acid into its active forms. Studies suggest that up to one quarter of all people have a genetic mutation in their enzyme, resulting in decreased conversion by as much as 60 percent. This deficiency has been linked with serious health problems and birth defects if left untreated.

Research is now indicating that alternative supplementation strategies for folic acid may be necessary due to a potentially inadequate conversion process by the body. Preconception and pregnancy, in particular, could benefit from taking an active form of folic acid as opposed to relying on natural bodily processes alone.

For those with a mutation in their 5-MTHF reductase gene, Kirkman's new Advanced Adult Multi-Vitamin/Mineral could be the ideal solution. Folic acid sourced from 5-MTHF has no reported downside and offers many potential benefits for your health.

Folic acid is essential for life - it helps the body create healthy new cells. Women, especially those expecting or preparing to conceive a child, must ensure they get an adequate amount as inadequate levels can have serious implications on pregnancy outcomes. Leafy greens and other foods such as fruits, beans peas and nuts contain large amounts of folic acid; similarly enriched breads and cereals are fortified with this nutrient too. Despite fortification though most women need additional supplementation throughout their reproductive years: 400 mcg per day for non-pregnant individuals; 800mcg daily in addition during pregnancy/ lactation periods.
