5-MTHF 5 mg GPH Capsules

5-MTHF 5 mg GPH Capsules contain folic acid in its natural, bioactive form as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). This is the patented premium substance Quatrefolic®. In this form, folate can be absorbed particularly efficiently by the body and utilised directly, because – unlike synthetic folic acid – it does not first have to be converted into the active form through several enzymatic steps. In some people, this conversion is severely restricted due to a genetic predisposition, so that folic acid can only be insufficiently activated. L-5-MTHF is already present in methylated form and is therefore immediately available to the body for methylation processes. Among other things, it supports homocysteine degradation, DNA synthesis and cell division. In addition, 5-MTHF can cross the blood-brain barrier more efficiently than folic acid. Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and normal amino acid synthesis and has a role in the process of cell division. It also contributes to normal blood formation and to the normal function of the immune system. Additionally, folate helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue. Folate also promotes the normal psychological function. Especially during pregnancy, the intake of folate is essential. Supplemental folate intake increases maternal folate status. Low maternal folate status is a risk factor in the development of neural tube defects in the developing foetus. Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy.

Application areas:

• For normal homocysteine levels
• For a strong immune system
• Against tiredness and fatigue
• Supports during pregnancy
