While folic acid has been used in supplements for decades, L-5-MTHF has gained recognition as a superior form because it's already in the active state. This is particularly important for individuals with MTHFR gene variations, which are relatively common in the population. By providing folate in its active form, L-5-MTHF ensures the body can use it effectively for red blood cell formation, homocysteine metabolism, DNA synthesis, and other critical functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedicinal Ingredient (per 1 capsule)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFolate.....................................1000 mcg (L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), calcium salt)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHypromellose (Vegetable Capsule), Microcrystalline Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdults: 1 capsule 1-4 times per day\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuration of Use\u003cbr\u003eAsk a health care practitioner for use beyond 4 weeks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCautions and Warnings\u003cbr\u003eAsk a health care practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.\u003cbr\u003eWhen using this product, avoid taking with alcohol.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Health","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47196220489946,"sku":"N321","price":20.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0545\/1287\/7767\/files\/N321.png?v=1773926867","url":"https:\/\/smithspharmacy.ca\/fr\/products\/887089104603","provider":"Smith's Compounding Pharmacy ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
