Unlike synthetic folic acid, which needs to be converted in the liver to its active form, methylfolate is ready to be used directly by the body. This is especially relevant for people with genetic variations in the MTHFR enzyme, who may have difficulty performing this conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis supplement from Nutri-Supreme Research provides 1 mg (1000 µg) of methylfolate per vegetarian capsule, offering a concentrated source of this essential vitamin.

For women planning a pregnancy or during pregnancy, health authorities usually recommend an additional 400 µg per day, but this product offers a higher dose that may be suitable under professional advice.

Methylfolate bypasses this process, offering a directly usable source. This is particularly advantageous for people with polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene, who may have a reduced ability to convert folic acid. In addition, methylfolate avoids the accumulation of unmetabolized folic acid in the bloodstream, something that can occur with high doses of synthetic folic acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, for the general population without absorption problems, both forms are effective.

Consult your doctor if you are taking any prescription medication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long should I take this supplement?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe duration of supplementation depends on individual needs. For pregnant women, it is recommended from before conception until the end of lactation. For other indications, follow the recommendations of your healthcare professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this product suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the capsules are plant-based and do not contain animal ingredients, so it is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between 1 mg and 400 µg?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 mg is equivalent to 1000 µg. The usual dose in prenatal supplements is 400 µg, but this product offers a higher dose to meet specific needs.
