Methyl Folate ((6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate or (6S)-5-MTHF) is a highly biologically active form of folate.* Due to the body’s limited ability to transform synthetic folic acid into the active form of folate, supplementation with 5-MTHF is highly preferable.*

HEALTH CLAIM: Women who consume healthful diets with adequate folate may reduce their risk of having a child with birth defects of the brain or spinal cord. Folate intake should not exceed 250% of the DV (1,000 mcg).
