BestVitamin Best Methylfolate 1mg, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, 60 Vegetable Capsules

Science-based Active Folic Acid (5-MTHF)

BestVitamin Best Methylfolate is an active form of folic acid.  Many individuals have intestinal or liver dysfunction, which makes the conversion of Folic Acid to Methylfolate very difficult or impossible.  A deficiency of folic acid has been linked to low-birth-weight infants and neural tube defects, which is why the Centers for Disease Control recommends folic acid supplementation for all women of childbearing age. Since 5-MTHF also contributes to the production of serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, supplementation supports a healthy mood.

Note: 1 mg of 5-MTHF is recommended for fetal support during pregnancy unless otherwise advised by a healthcare practitioner

It is important for a woman of childbearing age to get enough folic acid – not just those women who are planning to become pregnant. Because half of the pregnancies are unplanned, any woman who could become pregnant should get enough folic acid every day. Folic acid intake is especially important before conception and during early pregnancy since its biggest need is during the first trimester – when a woman might not even know she is pregnant.

Acting with vitamin B12, 5-MTHF functions as a methyl group donor, thereby facilitating the conversion of the amino acid homocysteine to methionine. An elevated homocysteine level is a risk factor for a number of undesirable health conditions. Methyl-group donation is vital to many biochemical conversion processes, including the synthesis of serotonin, melatonin, and DNA
