L-5-MTHF - 60 capsules
Product Information
What is L-5-MTHF?
L-5-MTHF by Designs For Health is a dietary supplement that provides 5 mg (8,500 mcg DFE) of biologically active folate per capsule in the form of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. This active folate form is found in the body in this bioactive state and is also one of the forms found in food. This supplement uses L-5-MTHF as Quatrefolic®, the natural [6S]-isomer, instead of the mixed (racemic) form. The capsules thus offer a direct, body-own form of folate for those who choose active folate instead of folic acid.
The formula contains folate as [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (glucosamine salt), Quatrefolic®, a form characterized by high bioavailability, good solubility, and long-term stability. In nature, folate occurs exclusively as the [6S]-isomer, the all-natural form used in these capsules.
