This pure product provides 5 mg of easily absorbable methylfolate per capsule. It is pure and free of allergens.
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 (5mg) of Thorne therefore provides 5 milligrams of highly absorbable methylfolate per capsule. The capsule is completely plant-based and the product is guaranteed free of soy, gluten, milk and artificial fragrances and flavors.
5-MTHF as active form of folic acid
Methylfolate ( 5-MTHF ) is the active and natural form of the vitamin folic acid (source). 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 pass 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.

Our mission is that people with the correct information choose their health products
Under current laws and regulations, some vitamin compounds must be shown in the label information as the equivalent of another compound. For example, vitamin A must be expressed as mcg of retinol or mcg of retinol equivalent, while vitamin B6 must be expressed as pyridoxine or pyridoxine base. This means that, when a different compound is used, we must recalculate the amount of these vitamins per daily dose using a conversion factor. The amount on the Dutch label and our website may therefore differ from that on the original product.
Another reason why the amount per daily dose on the Dutch label may differ from the supplier’s label is that we have had to make a correction. To prevent consumers from being misled, the Netherlands has strict rules on active substances in food supplements being present in amounts above or below those stated on the label. We thoroughly check every product we receive. If laboratory testing shows that the amount of active substances differs from what is stated on the product’s original label, we correct it on the Dutch label that we place over it. We do this to comply with the regulations and so that you know the amount you are taking is accurately stated.
