5-MTHF 1 mg - 60 Capsules

Active folate for mood, heart health, fetal development, and nerve support*

5-MTHF is an essential nutrient needed in our diet. It's a B vitamin that assists with critical processes like methylation, which keeps us healthy and functioning at peak performance. Unfortunately, many are unable to obtain the sufficient levels of 5 MTHF they need due physical or genetic limitations - leaving them susceptible to deficiencies without proper supplementation.

Despite being recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, approximately three out of five Americans are unable to efficiently convert folic acid into its most active form: 5-MTHF. This deficiency can cause a range of health issues from low birthweight infants and neural tube defects in pregnant women all the way to disturbances in mood due to reduced production of serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, epinephrine and noradrenaline. To ensure optimal wellness during pregnancy - as well as overall wellbeing - supplementation with this essential nutrient is encouraged.

For expecting mothers, a daily dose of 1 milligram (mg) of 5-MTHF is highly recommended to ensure fetal support. However, health care practitioners may advise increasing the dosage up to 15 mg under certain circumstances.

Women of childbearing age require an adequate amount of folic acid in their diets, regardless if they are planning a pregnancy or not. The most opportune time for supplementation is prior to conception and during the early stages since it plays a crucial role – especially when many women might still be unaware that they are expecting. To ensure maximum efficacy, using 5-MTHF (L-5 Methyltetrahydrofolate), its active form should always be recommended as part of one's daily nutrition plan.

By acting as a methyl-group donor, vitamin B12 and 5-MTHF enable the metabolism of vital biochemical processes. These include synthesizing serotonin, melatonin, DNA and converting homocysteine to methionine - an essential step that helps prevent health conditions associated with high levels of homocystein in the blood.
