What is Folate (5-MTHF)?
The active, methylated form of folate — used directly, without the conversion step folic acid relies on. Contributes to normal psychological function, normal blood formation and has a role in the process of cell division.
Why L-5-MTHF?
Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is the naturally active form of folate — it skips the conversion step that folic acid relies on, so it reaches cells in active form regardless of individual differences in folate metabolism.
What are the benefits of Folate (5-MTHF)?
Already-active bioavailability
Unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF does not require the MTHFR enzyme for activation. For people whose folate metabolism is less efficient, it provides active folate without depending on that conversion step.
Methylation & psychological function
5-MTHF contributes to normal psychological function.
DNA integrity & cell health
As the active cellular form of folate, 5-MTHF directly participates in DNA synthesis, repair and methylation — supporting genomic stability and the integrity of rapidly dividing cells.
