Natural Health Goodies Folate 400 mcg 5-MTHF (667 mcg DFE) Methylfolate

Who Can Benefit from Methylfolate Supplementation?

Folate is an essential B vitamin for every stage of life, but its active form—5-MTHF—offers unique advantages. This supplement is especially valuable for those with MTHFR gene variants, which can hinder the conversion of synthetic folic acid into usable folate. It is also a superior choice for women planning a pregnancy or already expecting, as adequate folate intake supports the healthy development of the foetal neural tube. Beyond prenatal health, methylfolate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, benefitting heart health and cognitive function. Even if you follow a restricted diet, this vegan, gluten-free, soya-free formula fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Why Choose 5-MTHF Over Synthetic Folic Acid?

Standard folic acid is a synthetic compound that requires enzymatic conversion to become active. Research indicates that around 60% of the population may have genetic variations that make this conversion inefficient. By providing 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) directly, this product bypasses that step. The patented Quatrefolic® glucosamine salt delivers a highly bio-available and stomach-friendly form of methylfolate. EFSA-approved health benefits include maintenance of normal homocysteine levels, normal blood formation, and normal psychological function—all supported by active folate.

What Makes This Folate Supplement Easy to Take?

Many supplement users dislike large tablets. Natural Health Goodies has created a tiny, pea-sized tablet that glides down effortlessly. Each tablet provides 400 mcg of 5-MTHF (equivalent to 667 mcg DFE) in a base free from magnesium stearate and unnecessary fillers. One daily tablet delivers an optimal dose, and the formula is manufactured in a GMP-certified facility with rigorous purity testing. It is also free from common allergens: no wheat, lactose, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, or artificial additives.

How to Incorporate Folate Into Your Daily Routine

Consistency is key. Take one tablet daily with water, with or without food. For prenatal health, begin supplementation at least one month before conception and continue throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding as advised by your health care provider. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

The Active Form of Folate Your Body Can Uses Immediately

Not all folate supplements are equal. While many products contain synthetic folic acid, your body actually relies on the bioactive form—5-methyltetrahydrofolate—to put this essential B vitamin to work. Natural Health Goodies Folate delivers 400 mcg of 5-MTHF (667 mcg DFE) in a tiny, easy-to-swallow tablet. This form is especially important for individuals with the MTHFR gene mutation, which can impair the conversion of folic acid into its active form. By providing ready-to-uses methylfolate, this supplement bypasses that conversion step, supporting higher folate levels and optimal cellular function.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between folic acid and methylfolate?

Folic acid is a synthetic form of vitamin B9 that must be converted to 5-MTHF in the body. Methylfolate is the active form that can be used directly by cells. For people with MTHFR gene variants, methylfolate is especially beneficial because it bypasses the conversion step.

Can men take methylfolate supplements?

Yes. Folate is important for everyone. It supports DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and homocysteine metabolism. Men may also benefit from methylfolate for heart and cognitive health.

Is this product safe during pregnancy?

Methylfolate is widely recommended for pregnant women as a superior alternative to folic acid. However, always consult your health care provider before starting any new supplement during pregnancy or while nursing.

Does this supplement contain any common allergens?

No. This product is gluten-free, soya-free, and free from wheat, lactose, milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, and artificial additives. It is also vegan-friendly.

How long does one bottle last?

One bottle contains 60 tablets, providing a two-month supply when taken as directed (one tablet per day).
