How it works
L-5-MTHF by Designs for Health offers a highly bioavailable and natural form of folate, delivering 1 mg (1,700 mcg DFE) of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the active form of folate in the body. This biologically active folate is essential for optimal cell division, growth, and maintaining a healthy homocysteine pathway, supporting cardiovascular and overall health. Unlike synthetic folic acid, which needs to be converted in the body to be effective, L-5-MTHF is ready for use, making it a superior option for those looking to boost their folate intake efficiently.
What sets this product apart is its use of the natural [6S] isomer of 5-MTHF, which is the form naturally found in the body and in food. The "L" in L-5-MTHF denotes that it is the all-natural form, rather than the mixed or racemic version often found in other supplements. This ensures the product is both more effective and biologically appropriate for the body’s needs. L-5-MTHF is crucial for individuals who may have difficulty converting synthetic folic acid into its active form, making it an excellent choice for those with specific genetic variations, such as the MTHFR gene mutation.
L-5-MTHF also features Quatrefolic®, a patented, highly stable, and bioavailable form of folate that has been shown to increase blood folate levels significantly more effectively than traditional folic acid. This advanced form enhances solubility and stability, ensuring that the body can absorb and utilize the folate more efficiently for long-lasting benefits. Quatrefolic® allows for better absorption and higher bioavailability, ensuring that you get the most out of your folate supplementation.
For anyone seeking to optimize their folate intake, whether for overall health or specific health concerns such as supporting heart health or pregnancy, L-5-MTHF is an ideal choice. Its bioactive and bioidentical form of folate, combined with the patented Quatrefolic® technology, offers superior absorption and effectiveness, making it an essential addition to any wellness routine. By choosing L-5-MTHF, customers can support their body’s natural functions with a high-quality, science-backed supplement.

L-5-MTHF 1700MCG is a bioavailable folate supplement that delivers 1,700 mcg DFE of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate per capsule. It uses Quatrefolic, a patented and highly stable form of the natural [6S] isomer of 5-MTHF, which is the same form of folate found naturally in the body. This means it is ready to use without the conversion step that synthetic folic acid requires.
What does the folate in this product support?
The active folate in L-5-MTHF supports proper methylation processes, helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels, and promotes optimal cell division and growth. These functions are important for cardiovascular health, nervous system function, and overall well-being. It may also be a helpful choice for those looking to support prenatal health or fertility.
Who is L-5-MTHF 1700MCG a good fit for?
It is well suited for adults who want a bioactive form of folate, especially those who may have difficulty converting synthetic folic acid due to genetic variations such as the MTHFR gene mutation. It is also a vegetarian-friendly option. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or considering this for a child, please consult a qualified healthcare practitioner first.
How do you take L-5-MTHF 1700MCG?
Take 1 capsule per day or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Each bottle contains 120 capsules, providing a 120-day supply.
How does L-5-MTHF 1700MCG compare to other Designs for Health products that contain folate?
L-5-MTHF 1700MCG is a standalone folate supplement, so it is a focused option if folate is your primary need. By contrast, Prenatal Pro, DFH Complete Multi with Copper & Iron, and DFH Complete Multi are broader multivitamin formulas. Ultra B12-Folate and B12 Folate pair folate with B12 for combined support. If you are unsure which is right for you, a healthcare practitioner can help guide your choice.
