Product Description:

  • Many individuals don't get sufficient 5-MTHF (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate), the active form of folic acid, because they have intestinal or liver dysfunction, or because they are among the three out of five Americans whose genetic makeup makes it difficult to convert folic acid into active 5-MTHF.

Product Benefits:

Recommended for fetal support during pregnancy.

Plays a key role in a healthy mood.

Contains Folate (L-5-MTHF) 8.3mg.

60 Capsules.

Take 1 capsule one to two times daily.

  • A deficiency of folic acid has been linked to low-birth-weight infants and neural tube defects, which is why the Centers for Disease Control recommends folic acid supplementation for all women of childbearing age.
  • Since 5-MTHF also contributes to the production of serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, supplementation supports healthy mood.
  • Note: 1 mg of 5-MTHF is recommended for fetal support during pregnancy; the 15 mg option is recommended only when directed by a health-care practitioner.
  • It is important for a woman of childbearing age to get enough folic acid – not just those women who are planning to become pregnant.
  • Because half of pregnancies are unplanned, any woman who could become pregnant should get enough folic acid every day.
  • Folic acid intake is especially important before conception and during early pregnancy, since its biggest need is during the first trimester – when a woman might not even know she is pregnant.
  • Supplementation with the active form of folic acid – 5-MTHF (L-5 Methyltetrahydrofolate)– is always preferable.

INTERACTIONS

  • 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate.
  • An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
