L-5-MTHF 1700mcg 120c by Designs for Health – Methylation Support with Active Folate

L-5-MTHF capsules by Designs for Health provide methylated folate in a vegetarian capsule for normal methylation and homocysteine metabolism. This 120-capsule formula uses Quatrefolic®, the glucosamine salt of the active circulating form of folate, rather than folic acid.

Key L-5-MTHF 1700mcg 120c Benefits

Supports healthy folate status by supplying the active circulating form of this essential B vitamin for daily nutritional needs.
Promotes normal methylation, helping cells transfer small chemical groups used in many routine processes throughout the body.
Supports normal homocysteine metabolism, helping recycle this amino acid into methionine as part of the body’s ongoing nutrient metabolism.

How L-5-MTHF 1700mcg 120c Works

Folate, also called vitamin B9, helps move small carbon-containing groups between molecules. This supports normal cell division and the production of DNA. In the methylation cycle, 5-MTHF works with vitamin B12 to convert homocysteine into methionine, which the body uses to make a key methyl donor. This is why folate contributes to homocysteine metabolism and methylation support. Providing folate in its active circulating form bypasses the conversion steps required to turn folic acid into 5-MTHF.

Key Functional Ingredients Include:

Folate: As Quatrefolic® [6S]-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, this nutrient supports healthy folate status and normal homocysteine metabolism. It supplies a methyl group that helps recycle homocysteine into methionine, supporting the body’s methylation cycle. Vitamin B12 is also needed for this step; folate does not replace adequate B12.

L-5-MTHF 1700mcg 120c Is Formulated For

Adults whose practitioner recommends a focused active-folate supplement for methylation and folate status.
Those seeking a vegetarian capsule containing 1700 mcg DFE of folate rather than a broad multivitamin.

What are the benefits of L-5-MTHF 1700mcg 120c?

L-5-MTHF supplies active folate to support folate status, normal methylation, and homocysteine metabolism. Its Quatrefolic form provides 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the main form of folate circulating in the blood, in a vegetarian capsule.

Who should take L-5-MTHF 1700mcg 120c?

This focused folate formula is for adults whose practitioner recommends active folate rather than a multi-nutrient formula. The 1700 mcg DFE strength should be selected according to individual nutritional needs, including folate from other supplements.

Individual reactions to a folate supplement can occur; stop use and ask your practitioner about unexpected symptoms. The complete manufacturer-label warning panel could not be verified. Folate may also mask vitamin B12 deficiency and associated anemia. Consult with your health-care practitioner about your specific circumstances and any questions you may have about this product. Do not take 5-MTHF simultaneously with the cholesterol-lowering agents cholestyramine or colestipol because they may decrease the absorption of folate.

How does L-5-MTHF 1700mcg 120c support overall health?

Folate supports DNA production and normal cell division, helping the body maintain and renew its cells. L-5-MTHF also supplies the active folate used with vitamin B12 in the methylation cycle. This supports normal nutrient metabolism without replacing B12 or other essential nutrients.
