Product Description
5-MTHF is the most biologically active form of the B-vitamin folic acid. 5MTHF works in concert with vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, which provides methyl groups for numerous other biochemical reactions in the body. Because of this, folate supplementation supports cardiovascular health, nervous system function, normal cellular proliferation, and gingival health. Folate supplementation during pregnancy has been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
Research has shown a subset of individuals do not efficiently convert folic acid from their diet or supplements to active 5-MTHF, due to genetic enzyme deficiencies. Research suggests 5-MTHF is a more efficient form of supplementation than inactive folic acid in these and other individuals.

Beware this is not 5 mg methylfolate,

This review is from: Thorne Research 5-MTHF (5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) 60 Capsules (Health and Beauty)
This is not really a review of the product, just a warning to beware this product does not contain 5 mg methylfolate, rather 1 mg. I'm putting this comment here because I cant find a link to ask the seller to correct or report to Amazon. In the "fine print" at the bottom a similar page from a different seller (with same price) it says it contains 1000 mcg (1000 micrograms = 1 mg.) The picture shows a product made by Thorne which is indeed 5 mg, but it costs around $60 (also on Amazon.) This pricing is similar to other 5-10 mg pricing.

this product is necessary for people with the mutated genes that preclude them from assimilating folate. my product was priced very well and shipped immediately, I'm very happy.
