5-MTHF ES

QTY - 60 Capsules

• Increased absorption
• B vitamin (folate)
• Supports healthy cell growth and function
• Promotes healthy fetus development

5 MTHF ES provides 10,000 mcg of 5-MTHF (5-methyltetrahydrofolate) per serving. 5-MTHF ES is the most biologically active form of the water-soluble B vitamin, folate;  and it may be the preferred form for those with variations in digestion, absorption, or folate metabolism. Data suggest that in comparison to synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF increases plasma folate more effectively. In this formula, 5-MTHF ES is provided as Quatrefolic®the glucosamine salt of 5-MTHF ES. Quatrefolic has demonstrated greater stability, solubility, and bioavailability when compared to calcium salt forms of 5-MTHF ES.

Suggested Dosage: Take one to two capsules daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
