NOW Foods Methyl Folate 1000mcg 90 Tablets

NOW® Methyl Folate supplies 1000 mcg of folate as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), the biologically active, "ready-to-use" form of the vitamin. Standard folic acid must be converted by the body into this active form before it can be used — a step that some people, due to genetic variations in the MTHFR enzyme, perform less efficiently. Methyl folate skips that conversion, offering superior bioavailability. Folate supports DNA synthesis, healthy red-blood-cell formation and, together with B-12, healthy homocysteine metabolism.*

Cautions & interactions

As with any supplement, talk to your doctor before adding this product to your routine if you are pregnant or nursing, taking prescription medication, or managing a health condition. Keep it out of reach of children, store in a cool, dry place, and don't exceed the recommended serving. If you take a multivitamin or several supplements, review the combined amounts with your healthcare provider so you don't unintentionally double up on the same nutrient.
