Thorne 5-MTHF (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate)
5-MTHF (L-methylfolate) is folate in its active, ready-to-use form. Many people carry a common gene variation that makes it harder to convert regular folic acid into the form the body actually uses, so taking 5-MTHF skips that step entirely.*
What it does
- Supports healthy mood by helping the body make serotonin, dopamine, and melatonin*
- Supports heart and blood vessel health by helping keep homocysteine in a healthy range*
- Supports healthy methylation, detoxification, and nerve function*
- Supports reproductive health*
Who it's for
- Anyone with an MTHFR gene variation
- People who don't get enough folate from their diet
- Anyone looking for a gentle, foundational methylation support
Why it's different
- Active, tissue-ready folate – no conversion needed
- Available in 1 mg and high-potency 5 mg
- Gluten, dairy, and soy free
How to take it
1 mg: take 1 capsule one to three times daily. 5 mg: take 1 capsule one to two times daily. Or take as recommended by your health-care provider. If pregnant, talk to your provider first.
What's inside: Choose 1 mg (1.7 mg DFE; 60 or 90 capsules) or high-potency 5 mg (8.3 mg DFE; 60 capsules) of folate as L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate.
