  • Reduce risk of neural tube defects in pregnancy
  • Support healthy cell growth
  • Form red blood cells
  • Lower blood pressure

Folate matters most when energy and mood feel off, when you're trying to conceive, or when you're pregnant — but the cheap synthetic form (folic acid) requires conversion in the body, and roughly 30% of people carry an MTHFR gene variant that limits that conversion.

The formulation

Two capsules deliver 1,000mcg of 5-MTHF (500mcg per capsule) — the active, methylated form your body uses directly, no conversion required. Paired with Brown Rice Protein for a clean nutrient matrix that supports steady absorption.

Why ours

Most folate supplements use folic acid, which is fine if your MTHFR enzymes work efficiently — and a problem if they don't. 5-MTHF skips the conversion entirely, making it the form preferred for anyone with methylation challenges, fertility goals, or low energy that hasn't responded to folic acid.

How to take it

Two capsules daily, with or without food.

What to expect

Energy and mood shifts often appear within 2–4 weeks.

Benefits

Folate is essential in helping your body produce genetic material and to help cells divide. When the body breaks down Folate, it transforms into the active form of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. This biochemical conversion (also called "methylation"), is essential to cell function.

While Folate naturally occurs in many whole foods such as dark leafy greens and beans, supplementing is key to achieving optimal levels for prenatal care and certain health conditions like celiac disease and other malabsorption syndromes.

• Helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily at least three months before becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy
• Supports healthy fetal development and reduces the risk of spine and brain congenital disabilities
• Prevents folate deficiency in those with malabsorption syndromes
• Helps regulate homocysteine in the blood to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease

History

In 1931, researcher Lucy Wills identified folate's critical role in the human body's biochemical functioning. Wills discovered folate could prevent anemia in pregnant women and put its benefits into practice using brewer's yeast. It wasn't until the late 1930s and 40s that folate was extracted from yeast. Bob Stokstad extracted the pure crystalline form of folate in 1943, which was used as a base for an anti-cancer drug called Aminopterin. Now, people take folate for numerous reasons, most notably for a healthy pregnancy and fetal development.

Suggested Use

Recommended Dose (Adults: 19+): Take 1-2 capsules per day. 400 mcg of folate per day is adequate for most women (to reduce the risk of neural tube defects). Consult a health care provider to determine if you would benefit from additional folate before taking this product.

Recommended Uses:

  • Helps to: form red blood cells, maintain the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients; and to prevent folate deficiency.
  • Helps to: reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily at least three months prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy; and support normal early fetal development (brain and spinal cord).

Cautions and warnings: As with any natural health product, consult a health care provider prior to use.

Allergy Statement: This product is made in a facility that handles milk by-products/derivatives, gluten, shellfish, soy, peanuts and other tree nuts. This product may contain milk by-products/derivatives, gluten, shellfish, soy, peanuts and other tree nuts.
