The Product

What is 5-MTHF / methylfolate?
5-MTHF (5-methyltetrahydrofolate) is the bioactive, end-product form of folate — the molecule your cells actually use. Unlike folic acid, which requires conversion by the MTHFR enzyme, 5-MTHF enters your cells ready to participate in methylation immediately. It's the most bioavailable form of folate available.

What is MTHFR and why does it matter?
MTHFR is the gene that encodes a key enzyme in folate metabolism. Common variants (C677T, A1298C) reduce that enzyme's activity by 30–70%, meaning people with these variants have a harder time converting folic acid into usable folate. 5-MTHF bypasses this conversion entirely.

Do I need to know my MTHFR status to benefit from this product?
No. 5-MTHF is beneficial regardless of your genetics — it's simply more bioavailable than folic acid for everyone. If you do carry an MTHFR variant, the benefit is even more pronounced.

How do I take it?
Take one capsule daily, with or without food. Consistency matters more than timing. Most people notice changes in energy and mental clarity within 4–8 weeks.

Are there any side effects?
5-MTHF is generally very well tolerated. A small number of people starting at higher doses may experience mild symptoms (headache, irritability) as methylation pathways activate — if this happens, try taking it with food or starting every other day. As always, consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns.

Is this safe during pregnancy?
5-MTHF is commonly recommended during pregnancy as a superior alternative to folic acid, particularly for women with MTHFR variants. However, always consult your OB or midwife before starting any supplement during pregnancy.
