When folic acid is not enough — this is the form your body can actually use. Active 5-MTHF. No conversion required. Once daily.
"The active form your body already knows how to use."
White capsule · 18mm · once daily. Approx. 2-month supply per bottle. Clean, targeted, and designed to fit into any wellness routine.
Active 5-MTHF in the form your body can use directly. A focused daily supplement for preconception, MTHFR support, or anyone replacing standard folic acid with the real thing.
Folic acid and methylfolate are both called folate — but only one is in a form the body can use without first converting it. For those with MTHFR variants, that conversion step is limited or blocked entirely.
Folic acid goes through 3–4 enzymatic conversion steps to become 5-MTHF. Methylfolate skips all of them — entering the bloodstream as the active form immediately.
Not sure if methylfolate is right for you? This short video breaks down what 5-MTHF is, why the form of your folate matters, and who benefits most from making the switch.
Clear, honest, and under five minutes.
Both are forms of folate. But only one is the form the body actually uses. Here's the difference — clearly laid out.
Not a supplement for everyone — for those who understand why the form of their folate matters and want a clean, targeted option.
Folic acid is synthetic and requires multi-step enzymatic conversion before the body can use it. Methylfolate (5-MTHF) is already in its active form — the body uses it directly, with no conversion required. For those with MTHFR variants, or anyone who wants a more direct form, this difference is significant.
This is designed to replace the folic acid in a prenatal, not add to it. If your prenatal contains folic acid and you'd prefer the active form, this is the targeted switch. Always confirm with your healthcare provider.
No. While it's often chosen by those with MTHFR variants, anyone who wants a direct, active form of folate can use it. No diagnosis required — it delivers folate in the form the body already uses.
Yes — this is one of its most common uses. Folate is especially critical during early development. Many choose the active form for more targeted, reliable support during preconception and pregnancy.
Yes. It layers cleanly into existing routines. When paired with a prenatal, use it as a replacement for folic acid rather than an addition. It combines naturally with other targeted fertility supplements.
