1. What's the difference between methylfolate and folic acid supplements?

Methylfolate, also called as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) is an active and bioavailable form of folate (vitamin B9). Your body can directly use methylfolate. Supplements containing synthetic folic acid can't be used directly by your body. It must first convert the folic acid into methylfolate. People with an MTHFR gene mutation may not be able to do it effectively and it can impair folic acid metabolism. So, methylfolate is better compared to synthetic folic acid supplements.

2. Can I take Brain MD Methylfolate with other supplements?

Methylfolate provides the important B vitamin, folate, in high doses. It's generally compatible with other dietary supplements. The methyl actions may also improve the benefits of other supplements. But, if you are taking other supplements, it's crucial to consult your doctor to ensure that it's safe to consume.

3. How does Methylfolate assist SAMe production?

Liver cells use methylfolate to produce SAMe. Your body needs SAMe for several actions. So, taking this supplement naturally supports SAMe production.
