Research explores how differently active folate and folic acid behave.

5-Methylfolate provides folate as 5-MTHF. It’s listed as 5,000 mcg and expressed as 8,333 DFE (Dietary Folate Equivalents). DFE is the standard unit to reflect how different forms of folate are utilized by the body. It provides a standard way to compare folate across products, irrespective of the form of folate.

Product Description

Folate consumed in the diet or from supplements must be converted to its active form, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), to be used by the body. This is a multi-step biochemical process that, in some circumstances, may not be efficient enough to meet the body’s needs. In addition, unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF can penetrate the blood-brain barrier. This product utilizes a patented form of 5-MTHF with superior bioavailability.

1. What is 5-Methylfolate used for?

The Protocol for Life Balance 5-Methylfolate 5000 mcg is a high-dosage folate supplement. It provides folate as 5-methylfolate, a methylated form of the compound.

2. Is it safe to take high dosage folate supplement?

Generally, 5-MTHF supplement is well-tolerated for adults. In some individuals and elderly people, high folate supplement may mask vitamin B12 deficiency. It’s important to test vitamin B12 levels frequently and consult the usage of high dosage folate supplement with a healthcare professional.
