Douglas Laboratories Methyl Folate (L-5-MTHF) - 1,000 mcg Metafolin - 60 Tablets

What Makes L-5-MTHF Special?

L-5-MTHF (L-methylfolate) is the bioactive, ready-to-use form of folate (vitamin B9). Unlike standard folic acid, which requires several enzymatic conversions, this form is directly available for your body to use. That's crucial for women with MTHFR gene variations, who may struggle to convert folic acid efficiently. By supplying the active form, Douglas Laboratories Methyl Folate ensures optimal absorption and utilisation, supporting your body's natural processes from the start.*

Why Choose Methyl Folate for Pregnancy?

Adequate folate is essential for healthy fetal development, especially during the early stages of pregnancy. Douglas Laboratories Methyl Folate delivers 1,000 mcg of Metafolin, the patented bioactive form. It bypasses the liver conversion step, making it an ideal choice for many women. By choosing this active folate, you're giving your body exactly what it needs to support your baby's growth and your own wellbeing.*

Supporting Homocysteine Metabolism

Homocysteine is an amino acid that, when elevated, may affect cardiovascular health. Methylfolate plays a key role in the methylation cycle, helping convert homocysteine into methionine, a beneficial amino acid. Maintaining healthy homocysteine levels supports cardiovascular function and cellular health—an important consideration for expecting mums.*
