How it works

Folate, a crucial component in the body’s methylation cycle, is essential for maintaining overall health across multiple systems, including the heart, brain, and bones. The methylation cycle supports vital functions such as cellular energy production, liver detoxification, fat metabolism, and even bone integrity. An optimally functioning methylation cycle is crucial to sustaining these areas, but approximately 60% of U.S. adults have a genetic variation that affects its effectiveness, limiting folate processing and making supplementation with methylated vitamins essential.

For individuals with this genetic variation, Thorne’s 5-MTHF (5-methyltetrahydrofolate) provides a highly bioavailable, active form of folate that bypasses the conversion step, making it especially beneficial. By supporting methylation, 5-MTHF aids in producing key neurotransmitters like serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, and epinephrine. These neurotransmitters are essential for brain health and mood regulation, providing additional mental and emotional balance. Thorne’s 5-MTHF also helps maintain a normal homocysteine level, a marker linked to cardiovascular health, which is key for long-term heart health and a well-functioning methylation cycle.

In addition to supporting adult health, 5-MTHF plays an important role in fetal development, especially in the brain and spinal cord, when taken during pregnancy. Thorne’s 5-MTHF provides 1 mg of active, methylated folate in small, easy-to-take capsules, making it a convenient and efficient option for individuals, including those with the MTHFR mutation. Each dose promotes cellular health, blood and nerve function, and optimal methylation cycle performance, contributing to holistic well-being.
