About NOW – Methyl Folate 5000 mcg
NOW Methyl Folate 5000 mcg delivers folate in its most bioavailable form — (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate ((6S)-5-MTHF) — sourced from the patented Quatrefolic® ingredient. Unlike standard folic acid, this active form does not require enzymatic conversion in the body, making it a reliable choice for those who want to support their folate intake directly. Folate contributes to normal psychological function, normal homocysteine metabolism, normal blood formation, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.*
Each vegetarian capsule provides 8,333 mcg DFE (5,000 mcg (6S)-5-MTHF), representing 2,083% of the EU daily reference value. This high-potency formula is manufactured by NOW to GMP standards and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and is free from gluten and lactose.
With 50 capsules per pack and a simple once-daily serving, NOW Methyl Folate 5000 mcg offers a straightforward and efficient way to maintain adequate folate levels as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
