Methyl Folate 30 Capsules

Methyl Folate 30 Capsules

Description:

Methyl Folate 30 Capsules is a health supplement formulated with the active form of folate (L-methylfolate / levomefolic acid), designed to support healthy red blood cell formation, normal homocysteine metabolism, and overall maternal and fetal health during pregnancy. Unlike synthetic folic acid, methyl folate is the biologically active form that can be directly utilized by the body, making it particularly useful for individuals with reduced folic acid conversion. It is commonly used as an adjuvant in the management of certain types of anemia, to support normal growth and development in pregnancy, and as supportive care during chemotherapy where folate status may be compromised.

Indications:

• Helps in the prevention of neural tube defects and congenital anomalies in developing babies when used before conception and during early pregnancy (as part of prenatal care under medical supervision).
• Supports normal growth and development of the fetus during pregnancy.
• Adjunct in the treatment and prevention of folate-deficiency anemia and megaloblastic anemia, as prescribed by a physician.
• Supportive therapy in patients undergoing chemotherapy where folate depletion or increased folate demand may occur (only under oncologist/physician supervision).
• Helps maintain normal homocysteine levels, supporting cardiovascular health in individuals with folate deficiency.
• General folate supplementation in individuals with increased folate requirements (e.g., pregnancy, certain chronic illnesses) as directed by a healthcare professional.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• L-methylfolate (levomefolic acid): 400 mcg per unit (based on reference product "METHYL FOLATE 400 MCG (NHS) 20 TABS"). The exact strength per capsule in this specific pack of 30 capsules is not provided and is not confirmed.
• Other excipients (capsule shell and fillers): Not specified by the manufacturer. Detailed inactive ingredient information is unavailable.

• Pregnant women or women planning pregnancy: Use only under medical supervision. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and duration according to your individual needs and local prenatal guidelines.
• For anemia or as adjuvant in chemotherapy: Dose, frequency, and duration must be strictly determined by a healthcare professional based on clinical condition and laboratory results.
• Administration: Swallow the capsule whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise.
• May be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day to support adherence.
• Do not exceed the recommended daily dose unless instructed by your doctor.

Clinical Benefits:

• Supports healthy red blood cell formation and helps reduce the risk of folate-deficiency and megaloblastic anemia.
• Helps in the prevention of fetal neural tube defects and supports normal fetal growth and development during pregnancy when used as part of prenatal care.
• Provides the active, bioavailable form of folate (L-methylfolate), which may be beneficial for individuals with impaired folic acid metabolism.
• Supports normal homocysteine metabolism, contributing to cardiovascular health and vascular protection in folate-deficient individuals.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision in pregnancy, during breastfeeding, in children, or in patients with chronic diseases.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to L-methylfolate (levomefolic acid) or any of the capsule components.
• Folate supplementation may mask vitamin b12 deficiency–related anemia; prolonged use without medical supervision may delay the diagnosis of vitamin b12 deficiency. Patients with unexplained anemia or neurological symptoms must be evaluated by a physician.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of seizures, as high doses of folate may potentially influence seizure threshold in susceptible individuals; consult a neurologist before use.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications (especially antiepileptics, methotrexate, or other antifolate drugs), or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, malabsorption syndromes, or hematologic disorders.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease on its own; it is a supportive supplement and/or adjuvant therapy as directed by a healthcare provider.
• Keep out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion or overdose.
• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package. Do not use if the blister or container is damaged or shows signs of tampering.
