Metabolic Maintenance L-Methylfolate 10 mg - 90 Capsules

What is L-Methylfolate and why is it important?

L-methylfolate (5-MTHF) is the biologically active form of folate (vitamin B9). Unlike synthetic folic acid, it does not require conversion in the body, making it an ideal option for people with common genetic variants in the MTHFR enzyme. This Metabolic Maintenance supplement provides 10 mg of L-methylfolate per capsule, a high dose designed to support methylation processes, the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, and maintain a balanced mood.

Benefits of folate according to the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for folate, including L-methylfolate. Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, normal blood cell formation, normal psychological function, and maternal tissue growth during pregnancy. It also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. This product, by providing the active form, allows the body to obtain these benefits directly.

Why choose the active form (methylfolate)?

Many people have difficulty converting synthetic folic acid into its active form due to polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene. Metabolic Maintenance L-methylfolate bypasses this step, offering superior bioavailability. As it is the form the body uses directly, it is especially useful for supporting methylation, a key cellular process for DNA repair, detoxification, and mood regulation.

Dosage and method of use

This product contains 10 mg (10,000 µg) of L-methylfolate per capsule, a high dose that should be used under the supervision of a doctor or healthcare professional.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet. Keep out of reach of young children.

Who is it suitable for?

L-methylfolate is indicated for people who need an extra supply of active folate, especially those with MTHFR genetic variants, women of childbearing age looking for a pre-pregnancy supplement, and people who want to support their cognitive and emotional health. Given the high dose, its use under professional supervision is recommended. This product is free of gluten, dairy, nuts, and artificial additives, making it suitable for people with food sensitivities.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between folic acid and methylfolate?

Folic acid is the synthetic form that needs to be converted in the liver to 5-MTHF. L-methylfolate is already in the active form and is directly usable by the body, making it more effective in people with conversion problems.

Is it safe to take 10 mg per day?

The dose of 10 mg is higher than the general recommended daily intake (400 µg), but it may be necessary in certain clinical contexts. It should always be indicated by a doctor or nutritionist. Self-medication with high doses is not recommended.

Can I take it if I am pregnant?

Folate is essential during pregnancy. However, the 10 mg dose should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. The standard prenatal dose is 400-800 µg. Consult your doctor before using this product.
