Thorne 5-MTHF vitamin B folate 60 capsules

5-MTHF is a tissue-ready, active form of folate, an essential B vitamin that supports mood, coronary health, fetal development, and nerve support. An adequate amount of 5-MTHF is essential for the production of the neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, and epinephrine, all of which support healthy brain function and mood. Acting with vitamin B12, 5-MTHF functions as a methyl group donor, facilitating healthy methylation and homocysteine levels. Folic acid is especially important before conception and during the early stages of pregnancy, because its greatest need is during the first trimester, when a woman may not know she is pregnant. It is recommended to take 1 capsule once or twice daily or as recommended by your healthcare professional. This product is contraindicated in people with a history of hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients. If you are pregnant, consult your healthcare professional before using this product. Supplementation with 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is not recommended in conjunction with anti-malignant cell therapy with methotrexate, as it may interfere with the antineoplastic activity of methotrexate; however, this source of folate has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. A person taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement that contains folate.
