<p>This pure product provides 1 mg of easily absorbable methylfolate per capsule. It is pure and free of allergens.</p> <p>5-MTHF is also known as methylfolate. It is the active form of folic acid. The term active form here means that the folic acid can be used directly by the body. This 5-MTHF of <a style="color:#78509a;" href="https://morgenisnu.nl/merk/thorne/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thorne</a> therefore provides 1 mg of highly absorbable methylfolate per capsule.

It can therefore be used immediately by the body. This does not apply to folic acid. The synthetic form of folic acid can only be used by the body after it has been converted into methylfolate. Folic acid must first be converted into methylfolate. Only then can it cross the blood-brain barrier. The great advantage of using methylfolate is therefore that it can enter the brain immediately. 5-MTHF is essential in the brain for the production of the neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin, dopamine and epinephrine.</p> <h4><span style="color:#78509a;">About the quality of Torne</span></h4> <p>Since 1984, Thorne has been producing high-quality supplements.
