Methyl Folate 1,000 mcg (5-MTHF)

Folate in its active 5-MTHF form from NOW Foods, 1000 mcg per tablet — the form the body uses directly. 90 tablets.

The most biologically active form of folic acid available on the market today is methyl folate [(6S)-5-MTHF, or (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid]. Quatrefolic® is a patented formula representing the 4th generation in folate delivery. In most people the conversion of folic acid into folate (its active form) is impaired or inadequate, as a result of inherited errors of metabolism or of physiological strain in various forms. That is why taking bioactive folate 5-MTHF directly is best. Compared with folic acid supplements, it has been shown to raise the folate content of the red blood cells sharply. Its bioavailability is up to 7 times greater than that of folic acid. The B-group vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the normal function of the nervous system.

A simple way to top up a nutrient the daily menu falls short on.

Pack size: 90 Tabs.
