Superior Source Methylfolate 1,000 mcg - Folate Supplement for Women and Men - Active Methylfolate for Nervous System and Red Blood Cells - 60 Quick Dissolve Sublingual Tablets

What is methylfolate and why is it important?

Discover Superior Source Methyl — Methylfolate, also known as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), is the biologically active form of folate (vitamin B9). Unlike synthetic folic acid, methylfolate does not need to be converted by the body, making it especially useful for individuals with genetic variants such as MTHFR. This essential nutrient is involved in key processes such as DNA synthesis, homocysteine metabolism, and red blood cell production.

EFSA-backed benefits of folate

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

• Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
• Contributes to normal blood formation.
• Contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
• Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.

These benefits make methylfolate a valuable supplement for general health, well-being during pregnancy, and maintaining energy levels.

Why choose methylfolate over folic acid?

Folic acid is a synthetic form that requires several conversion steps in the body to become active. However, up to 40-60% of the population has polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene that hinder this conversion. Methylfolate, being already in its active form, bypasses this step and can be directly absorbed, making it a more efficient option for many people.

Furthermore, methylfolate does not mask vitamin B12 deficiency, a risk associated with high-dose folic acid intake. Therefore, it is the preferred form in high-quality supplements.

Recommended daily dose and how to use

Each Superior Source Methylfolate sublingual tablet provides 1,000 mcg (1 mg) of methylfolate. The recommended dose for adults is one tablet daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. During pregnancy, Spanish health authorities recommend 400 µg of folate per day, but always under medical supervision.

For optimal absorption, place the tablet under the tongue and allow it to dissolve completely. It is not necessary to take it with water, which is convenient for those who have difficulty swallowing pills.
