Support heart health, fetal development, nervous system, and mood with 5-MTHF 5-MTHF is a bioactive, methylated form of folate, an essential B vitamin that supports heart, brain, blood, and bone health and is suitable for individuals with MTFHR gene mutations. Folate is a key component in the body’s methylation cycle, a series of biochemical reactions that play a beneficial role in multiple body systems. Heart and brain health, cellular energy production, fat metabolism, liver detoxification, and bone health all rely on a healthy methylation cycle.
