Thorne 5-MTHF 5 mg – Methylated Folate, 60 Capsules

Overview

Thorne 5-MTHF delivers 5 mg of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the biologically active form of folate that bypasses common MTHFR genetic variations. Unlike synthetic folic acid, 5-MTHF is directly usable by the body and plays a central role in methylation, neurotransmitter production, and DNA synthesis. This formula supports healthy homocysteine metabolism, cardiovascular health, and fetal neural development during pregnancy when used under practitioner guidance. Thorne is known for its rigorous testing and hypoallergenic formulations, making this a trusted option for those needing higher-dose methylated folate. The product is free of gluten, dairy, and soy and designed for optimal absorption.
