L-Methylfolate 1000mcg - 100 capsules

The L-Methylfolate of the Ecological formula is infused with 5-methyltetrahydrofolate - a highly active variant of folic acid that allows for maximum absorption. With this metabolic form of folate, the most biologically active form of the B vitamin folic acid, you will get the most out of your supplement regimen.

L-Methylfolate (5-MTHF) has emerged as a popular alternative and has been used as a complementary treatment for people who have a genetic mutation  and are unable to utilise these nutrients (Folate and Folic acid ) properly.

Any folic acid we ingest must be metabolised (converted) into Dihydrofolate (DHF), Tetrahydrofolate (THF), and then finally into L-methylfolate (5-MTHF) to be used in the body but individuals with mutations cannot complete the final metabolic step that converts folic acid to the active form L-methylfolate (5-MTHF).

Supplementing directly with L-methylfolate bypasses the entire folic acid metabolism cycle allowing absorbtion despite inability to convert folic acid

Benefits:

For those who do not metabolise folic acid well, supplementing L-Methylfolate is the clear alternative while pregnant. Especially if you have a homozygous C677T or A1298C mutation, which is thought to increase your folate requirements even more.

Dosage:

1 capsule a day  - this is a potent supplement : do not exceed this dosage unless under supervision - important to keep B12 levels within the norm when taking and in general all B vitamins otherwise homocysteine cannot be broken down.

It can interact with several medications - if you take medications please consult your Doctor on the use of this supplement.
