Pure L-Methylfolate has been formulated to deliver an optimum dose of 400mcg folic acid (vitamin B9) in 180 small, easy-to-swallow tablets, suitable for everyday use. L-Methylfolate is the body-ready active form of folic acid, best known for supporting normal tissue growth during pregnancy and reducing tiredness and fatigue. Folate is also required for multiple essential physiological functions in the body, including normal homocysteine metabolism and function of the immune system.
Pure L-Methylfolate (as Calcium L-MTHF) is the fully methylated, highly absorbable and body-ready form of folic acid, offering 200x greater bioavailability and 1.8x higher blood levels than standard folic acid. L-Methylfolate is an ideal form for individuals with MTHFR gene polymorphisms, as folate levels increase in the body irrespective of genotypes.
Pure L-Methylfolate 400mcg is a hypoallergenic supplement formulated without any unnecessary additives, such as silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate or titanium dioxide. We use only plant cellulose. GMP manufactured in the UK, the ingredients are non-GMO, certified vegan and suitable for those following Halal and Kosher diets.
A daily dose of 400mcg provides an optimal 200% of the Nutrient Reference Value. Formulated to ensure that the dose is not excessive, to avoid symptoms such as nausea, therefore is suitable for long-term use. Delivered in small, easy-to-swallow tablets. Taken at the recommended dose of 1 tablet daily, each bottle provides 180 servings.
Folate plays an important role in cell division, including normal maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. As low folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects, taking a folate supplement is ideal for women of childbearing age or for those planning to conceive. Folate is particularly important to take prior to conception and until the twelfth week of pregnancy.
Folate supplementation may help to reduce tiredness and fatigue. As folate is necessary for proliferation of cells, low folate status can negatively affect the production of red blood cells. This may result in anaemia due to insufficient numbers of red blood cells which are required for oxygen transfer. The reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood leads to symptoms of weakness, fatigue, irritability, and shortness of breath.
Folate is essential for normal homocysteine metabolism in the body. Homocysteine is a natural by-product of the methylation cycle usually converted into essential proteins involved in normal processes such as sleep and mood regulation, or the powerful antioxidant glutathione. Low folate status and the resulting accumulation of homocysteine may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and cognitive dysfunction.
