Methylfolate Supplement 10 mg

Moderate-high dose Methylfolate Supplement for healthy methylation, homocysteine and natural mood support. 

Bioactive folate uniquely formulated with the new & improved, internationally-branded nutrient Cerebrofolate™

L-methylfolate is the predominant form of folate circulating in the body and used for biological processes¹.

Studies show *15mg methylfolate + SSRI to be the most effective dose for improving depressive symptoms².

Methylfolate is the biologically activated form of folate and the only form that can cross the blood-brain barrier³.

• Support for brain function⁴
• Supports cardiovascular health⁵
• Support for healthy immune function⁶
• Supports nerve function⁷
• Support for preconception, pregnancy, and fetal health⁸
• Involved in maintaining healthy homocysteine levels⁹
• Essential nutrient required for healthy DNA and neurotransmitter synthesis¹⁰
• Suitable for people with MTHFR mutations¹¹

A 2024 animal study found that high-dose methylfolate may protect against neurodevelopmental behaviours resulting from exposure to pyrethroid, a type of pesticide. Pyrethroid exposure disrupts folate metabolism in the brain and may contribute to behavioral disorders such as autism. 

Methylfolate is the biologically active form of folate and can bypass disruptions to the breakdown of folate in the body, whether caused by MTHFR or by DPE exposure. In this study, high-dose supplementation with methylfolate dramatically reduced the behavioural disorders caused by folate issues, preventing deficits in the social, communication, cognitive, and locomotor areas of the brain that are linked to autism.¹⁹

Why take a methylfolate supplement?

Folate is required for numerous critical functions of the brain and nervous system. It is essential for DNA/RNA synthesis, maintaining healthy homocysteine levels, and for proper fetal development during pregnancy. 

Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate. It can only be used by the body after it has been converted to active folate by an enzyme called methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR)¹³.

Who is affected by MTHFR mutations?

The MTHFR mutation is much more common than many people realize (it’s estimated around 50% of the global population have at least 1 of 2 common variants).  Approximately 25% of the global population are carriers of the MTHFR mutation C677T, with Hispanics making up the highest proportion (47%), East Asians (30%), South Asians (12%) and Africans (9%).  Another 25% of the global population have the MTHFR mutation A1298C, which is highest in South East Asians (42%) and Europeans (31%). The frequency of the 1298A>C polymorphism in Hispanics and Africans is 15%¹⁴. 

An increasing number of studies have shown links between those with MTHFR polymorphisms and an increased risk for high levels of homocysteine, depression, and reduced antidepressant effectiveness¹⁵.  MTHFR is also linked to elevated homocysteine levels, which can cause serious vascular diseases, dementia, infertility, and other chronic illnesses¹⁶.

For these people, L-methylfolate supplementation is shown to be the most effective way to provide this form of folate¹⁰. 

Methyl-Life’s® Methylfolate Supplement contains an active form of folate that can bypass the MTHFR mutation. It is already in its metabolized form, which means it can be readily absorbed and utilized in the body for many biochemical reactions.

Why Magnafolate® PRO?

Methyl-Life’s® Methylfolate Supplement 10 mg is made with the internationally-patented Magnafolate® PRO, clinically tested as one of the purest methylfolate brands (Magnafolate® PRO is shown to have significantly greater purity, stability and potency when compared to competing brands Quatrefolic® and Extrafolate®).

Magnafolate® is made with a form of methylfolate called L-5-MTHF-Ca, which is shown to be the most active form of folate in the plasma circulation. When compared with ordinary folate, L-methylfolate was found to be absorbed faster and utilized more quickly in the body¹⁷.

A recent study found that L-5-MTHF-Ca significantly boosted immune function over just five weeks of supplementation¹⁸.
