Support methylation and cellular function with active folate for MTHFR gene variations
This is folate in its most bioactive form: 5 methyltetrahydrofolate (5 MTHF), provided as calcium L methylfolate at 1000mcg (500% NRV) per capsule. Unlike standard folic acid (the synthetic form found in most supplements and fortified foods), methylfolate does not require conversion by the enzyme MTHFR before the body can use it. This is significant because an estimated 30 to 40% of the population carry genetic variants of the MTHFR gene that reduce their ability to convert folic acid into its active form.
For these individuals, taking standard folic acid may result in unmetabolised folic acid circulating in the blood without providing the folate dependent functions the body needs: DNA synthesis and repair, methylation (critical for gene expression, detoxification and neurotransmitter production), red blood cell formation and homocysteine clearance. At 1000mcg, this provides a beneficial dose appropriate for preconception, pregnancy, MTHFR support, mood support and homocysteine management. The capsule contains cellulose filler and a vegetarian capsule shell.
Key benefits:
| Each capsule contains: | %NRV* | |
|---|---|---|
| Folate | 1000 mcg | 500% |
† Nutrient Reference Value (NRV*) not established
Cellulose, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (capsule), Calcium L-Methyl Folate.
Directions for use:
Take 1 capsule per day with food.
This product is suitable for anyone who needs folate supplementation but wants to bypass the conversion step required by folic acid. It is particularly relevant for those who know they carry MTHFR variants (C677T or A1298C), those with elevated homocysteine, women planning pregnancy, and those using folate for mood or methylation support.
If taking alongside vitamin B12, ensure the B12 is also in its active form (methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin) for consistent methylation support. Folate and B12 work together in the methylation cycle and should ideally be supplemented as a pair when either is taken at beneficial doses.

Methyltetrahydrofolate supports energy production, nervous system function, and stress resilience.
Take in the morning with food to support energy throughout the day.
Common signs include fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and numbness.
Methylated B vitamins are pre-activated forms your body can use immediately. Important for those with MTHFR gene variations.
Some people are sensitive to certain B vitamins. Start with a lower dose and take with food if you notice overstimulation.
Riboflavin (B2) causes bright yellow urine. This is harmless and shows the vitamins are being processed.
