Bluebonnet EarthSweet Methylfolate 1000 µg - Folato Activo 5-MTHF - 90 Comprimidos Masticables con Sabor a Frambuesa

What is methylfolate and why choose it?

Methylfolate, also known as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), is the active, directly usable form of vitamin B9. Unlike synthetic folic acid, which must be converted by the body into its active form, methylfolate is ready for use, making it an excellent option for people with absorption difficulties or genetic variations such as MTHFR. Bluebonnet EarthSweet Methylfolate provides 1000 µg of Quatrefolic, a patented methylfolate with exceptional solubility and stability, designed to maximize bioavailability.

This supplement comes in chewable tablets with a delicious raspberry flavor, naturally sweetened with a blend of fruit powders and cane sugar. It is vegan-friendly, gluten-free, soy-free, and GMO-free, and certified kosher. Each container has 90 tablets, offering a three-month supply if one tablet is taken daily.

Benefits of folate according to the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has authorized several health claims for folate. Among these, it is recognized that folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, normal blood cell formation, normal homocysteine metabolism, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Additionally, it contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and normal amino acid synthesis.

It is important to note that these benefits are supported by science and health authorities. However, food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet or as a treatment for any disease. Bluebonnet methylfolate can be an ally for those looking to maintain adequate folate levels, especially during periods of higher demand such as pregnancy or lactation.

Recommended daily dose and how to take it

The recommended daily dose of folate for the general population is 200 µg, although needs increase during pregnancy to 400-600 µg per day. In Spain, the Spanish Society of Gynecology and Obstetrics recommends 400 µg of folic acid per day from at least one month before conception and during the first trimester. With Bluebonnet EarthSweet Methylfolate, each tablet provides 1000 µg of methylfolate, a higher amount than the standard dose, so it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before starting its consumption, especially during pregnancy.

The chewable tablets are easy to take: simply chew one tablet daily, preferably with a meal. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.

Who is this supplement suitable for?

Bluebonnet EarthSweet Methylfolate is suitable for a wide variety of people. It is especially useful for women planning a pregnancy or who are pregnant, as folate is essential for maternal tissue growth. It is also beneficial for people on vegetarian or vegan diets, as plant sources of folate may be less bioavailable. Additionally, those with variations in the MTHFR gene may benefit from the active form of methylfolate, avoiding the hepatic conversion necessary with conventional folic acid.

The product is also suitable for people looking to support their energy metabolism and reduce fatigue. Being free of common allergens such as gluten, soy, and dairy, and manufactured in ISO and cGMP certified facilities, it offers a safe and high-quality option.

Frequently asked questions about methylfolate

Is methylfolate better than folic acid?

Methylfolate is the active form that the body can use directly, while folic acid requires conversion in the liver. For people with absorption problems or the MTHFR mutation, methylfolate may be a more efficient option. However, both can be effective in maintaining adequate folate levels.

Can I take methylfolate if I am not pregnant?

Yes, methylfolate is beneficial for anyone who wants to maintain optimal levels of vitamin B9. It contributes to blood cell formation, homocysteine metabolism, and reducing fatigue, making it useful for the general population.

What is the difference between 5-MTHF and folic acid?

5-MTHF (methylfolate) is the biologically active form of folate, while folic acid is the synthetic form found in many supplements. Methylfolate does not need to be metabolized and can be used directly by cells.
