Now Foods Methyl Folate 1000 Mcg- Now- 90 Tablets
Description:
Now Foods Methyl Folate 1000 mcg is a dietary supplement that provides methylated folate, the active and bioavailable form of vitamin B9 (also known as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate or 5-MTHF). Each tablet delivers 1000 mcg of methyl folate to support healthy methylation, homocysteine metabolism, cardiovascular health, brain and nervous system function, and red blood cell formation. This supplement is particularly beneficial for individuals who may have genetic variations (such as MTHFR polymorphisms) that reduce their ability to convert synthetic folic acid into its active form. Suitable for adults, vegetarians, and vegans, Now Foods Methyl Folate 1000 mcg is designed to help maintain optimal folate status, support healthy fetal development during pregnancy (under medical supervision), and promote overall wellness.
Indications:
- Supports healthy folate levels in adults with increased folate needs or low dietary intake.
- Helps maintain normal homocysteine levels, supporting cardiovascular health.
- Supports healthy fetal development and neural tube formation during pregnancy (use only under medical supervision).
- Contributes to normal red blood cell formation and helps prevent folate deficiency.
- Supports brain health, cognitive function, and mental clarity.
- Supports normal psychological function, mood balance, and emotional well-being.
- Assists methylation processes involved in DNA synthesis and repair.
- Supports nervous system function and overall energy metabolism.
- May be useful for individuals with reduced folic acid conversion due to genetic variations (e.g., MTHFR).
