Metilfolato Activo 5-MTHF con Complejo B - 3 Meses, One Elevated

What is methylfolate and why is it important?

Discover Double Strength Most — Methylfolate (5-MTHF) is the biologically active form of folic acid or vitamin B9. Unlike synthetic folic acid, methylfolate can be used directly by the body without the need for enzymatic conversion. This is especially relevant for people with the MTHFR mutation, a genetic variant that makes it difficult to convert folic acid into its active form.

This supplement combines methylfolate with a complete complex of B vitamins: methylcobalamin (B12), niacin (B3), thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), and pyridoxine (B6). These vitamins work synergistically to support essential processes such as DNA synthesis, homocysteine metabolism, and neurotransmitter production. Additionally, methylfolate contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy, making it a key nutrient for women of childbearing age.

Benefits of methylfolate according to the EFSA

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has approved several health claims for folate. These include:

• Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.
• Folate contributes to normal blood cell formation.
• Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
• Folate contributes to normal psychological function.
• Folate contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

By being formulated with methylfolate, this supplement provides these benefits directly and efficiently, especially in people with specific absorption needs.

Recommended daily dose

The recommended daily dose of folate for adults is 400 µg, increasing to 600 µg during pregnancy according to health authorities. This product offers double strength in a high-potency formula. Consult the label for the exact amount per capsule and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

The package contains a three-month supply, facilitating adherence to the supplement without interruptions.

Who is this supplement suitable for?

This supplement can be especially useful for:

• Women planning a pregnancy or who are pregnant: methylfolate supports maternal growth and blood cell formation, essential during gestation.
• People with MTHFR mutation: by not requiring conversion, methylfolate is a direct option for those who have difficulty metabolizing synthetic folic acid.
• Vegans or vegetarians: methylcobalamin (B12) is the active form of vitamin B12, often deficient in diets without animal products.
• People with elevated homocysteine levels: the combination of B vitamins helps maintain normal homocysteine metabolism.

However, it is always advisable to consult a health professional before starting any supplementation.

Why choose methylfolate instead of folic acid?

Synthetic folic acid must be converted into methylfolate in the liver by an enzyme (MTHFR). However, a significant portion of the population has genetic variations that reduce the efficiency of this conversion. Methylfolate, being the active form, bypasses this step and ensures that the body receives the nutrient in its usable state. This can be especially relevant for pregnant women and people with mutations in the MTHFR gene.

In addition, methylfolate is combined here with methylcobalamin (B12) and other B vitamins in their coenzyme forms, maximizing bioavailability and synergistic action.
