Thorne Research 5-MTHF Methylfolate 1mg 60 capsules

5-MTHF from Thorne is a premium bioactive supplement containing the most absorbable form of folate — L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Unlike regular folic acid, this compound is already in an activated state and does not require additional enzymatic conversion in the body. This is critically important for people with genetic variations in the MTHFR enzyme (polymorphism), in whom the process of synthetic folate activation is impaired. The product provides the body with "ready-to-use" vitamin B9, which is instantly incorporated into biochemical cycles to support health at the cellular level.
The central role of 5-MTHF is its participation in the methylation process, a fundamental mechanism that regulates detoxification, DNA synthesis, and neurotransmitter synthesis. Active folate is a key factor in controlling homocysteine levels: it helps convert this potentially harmful amino acid into beneficial methionine, protecting blood vessel walls from damage and reducing risks to the cardiovascular system. In addition, methylfolate crosses the blood-brain barrier, promoting the production of serotonin and dopamine, which makes it indispensable for maintaining a stable emotional background and cognitive functions.
Application: Adults are recommended to take 1 capsule one to three times a day with meals or as recommended by a doctor. Due to its high bioavailability, even a minimal dose effectively saturates tissues with the necessary nutrient.
Ingredients: 1 capsule contains 1 mg of folate (as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate). Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose (vegetable capsule), leucine, silicon dioxide. Uses the patented form Extrafolate-S®. The product does not contain gluten.
Storage conditions: Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use the product if the protective film on the neck is damaged or missing.
Warning:This is not a medicine. Consult your doctor before use, especially if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding or taking specific medications (e.g. methotrexate). High doses of folate can mask vitamin B12 deficiency, so it is recommended to monitor the levels of both nutrients during prolonged use.
