How it works
Thorne’s 5-MTHF provides an essential, bioactive form of folate for supporting the body’s methylation cycle, a vital process that aids in heart and brain health, cellular energy production, liver detoxification, fat metabolism, and bone health. Folate plays a crucial role in sustaining these processes, helping maintain wellness across the body. However, about 60% of U.S. adults have a genetic mutation that affects their methylation cycle’s efficiency, often limiting folate processing. For those with this MTHFR gene variation, Thorne’s 5-MTHF offers a direct, methylated form of folate to bypass this limitation and promote healthier body functions.
