Thorne Research 5-MTHF 1 Mg
5-MTHF (5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) from Thorne Research contains the most biologically active form of folic acid.*
- A breakthrough in folate supplementation
- The most bioavailable, active form of folate*
- An excellent source of folate for pregnant women*
- Supports optimal cardiovascular and nerve function*
- Without preservatives, magnesium stearate, or other lubricants and diluents
- Made without flowing agents that can inhibit bioavailability
Folic acid must be converted to its active forms to be used by the body.* This is a multi-step biochemical process that occurs in the intestines and liver. In the presence of intestinal or liver dysfunction this conversion may not occur sufficiently enough to meet the bodys needs.
Furthermore, up to one-third of the U.S. population may have a genetic enzyme defect that makes it difficult for them to convert folic acid (even folinic acid) into active 5-MTHF. For these individuals and many others, 5-MTHF supplementation may be a useful method of folate repletion.*
Because deficiencies of folic acid have been linked to low-birth-weight infants and neural tube defects, folic acid requirements double during pregnancy.
