Description

Support your cellular health, DNA synthesis, and overall wellness with NutraPrime's Folate 500mcg featuring bioactive 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF). Unlike synthetic folic acid, this methylated form is the active folate your body can use immediately - perfect for those with MTHFR genetic variations who cannot efficiently convert regular folic acid.

  • The metabolically active form of folate - no conversion required
  • Superior bioavailability compared to synthetic folic acid
  • Ideal for those with MTHFR gene mutations (up to 40% of the population)
  • Bypasses genetic limitations in folate metabolism

5-MTHF is the bioidentical, naturally occurring form of folate found in foods. It:
