High potency methylfolate - the most bio-effective form of folate, easily used by the body
Delivers 400µg of methylfolate, the active form easily used by the body without the need for conversion.
Contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Supports normal psychological function.
High potency methylfolate is the most bio-effective form of folate, meaning it is optimally absorbed and easily used by the body. One daily easy-to-take capsule provides 400µg.
Methylfolate and folic acid are both forms of folate, but some people have differences in their genetics (called polymorphisms or SNPs) which make it hard for their bodies to convert synthetic folic acid into its active form (for example MTHFR mutations). Methylfolate (5-MTHF) is already in the converted form, ready for the body to use. This makes it more readily available and effective.
Folate supports many important functions in the body. It supports healthy growth, repair and development of cells and tissues, including for the baby during pregnancy. Folate helps make important neurotransmitters to support mental health and wellbeing and supports healthy blood cells, immune function and energy, reducing fatigue. It also contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism (high homocysteine is a risk factor for several chronic disease including cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline).
One capsule daily with food as a food supplement or as directed by a practitioner.

In the UK, it is recommended that women take 400µg of folic acid daily from preconception until 12 weeks of pregnancy. Folate helps the baby’s brain and spine develop properly and reduces the risk of neural tube defects. Methylfolate, the active form of folate, is a great alternative to standard folic acid supplements. Our product includes the recommended level for pregnancy and preconception. You can also find this in our comprehensive pregnancy multivitamin and mineral - Pregna-Plan.
