NOW – Methyl Folate 1000 mg (90Caps)

Description

NOW – Methylfolate 1000 mg (90Caps)

Now – Methylfolate is the biologically active, naturally‑occurring form of folate that is used for fundamental body functions like normal cell division and the synthesis of neurotransmitters and DNA. Unlike regular folic acid, methylfolate has been shown to penetrate the blood‑brain barrier, where it helps to support neurological health. Quatrefolic® is a patented form of methylfolate that has demonstrated bioavailability superior to that of folate from dietary sources.

• This product uses a patented form of methyl‑folate called Quatrefolic® (6S‑5‑MTHF glucosamine salt) which is a metabolically active folate.

• It provides 1,000 mcg (1 mg) of active 5‑MTHF per tablet (which corresponds to ~1,667 mcg DFE) in the 1000 mcg version.

• Designed to support normal cell division, DNA synthesis, neurotransmitter production, and neurological health (via folate crossing the blood‑brain barrier) rather than standard folic acid.

• Suitable for vegetarian/vegan users; free from wheat, gluten, soy, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts.

Ingredients:

Active Ingredient

• Folate [1,000 mcg (6S)‑5‑MTHF] from Quatrefolic® (6S)‑5‑MTHF Glucosamine Salt)

Other (non‑medicinal) Ingredients

• Microcrystalline Cellulose

• Stearic Acid (vegetable source)

• Silicon Dioxide (Silica)

Allergen / additional notes

• Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients.

• Suitable for vegetarian/vegan use.

Benefits:

• Delivers active folate (5‑MTHF/Quatrefolic®) which the body can use immediately — no conversion required.

• Supports cell division, DNA synthesis and general cellular health.

• Helps maintain healthy neurological function, because the active folate form can cross the blood‑brain barrier.

• May support cardiovascular health by aiding normal homocysteine metabolism (due to folate’s role in methylation).

• Suitable for those following vegan/vegetarian diets; free from many common allergens (gluten, soy, dairy, etc).

Things to keep in mind:

• Because it is a high dose of active folate, individuals should ensure vitamin B12 status is adequate — folate can mask B12 deficiency.

• If you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medications (especially those affecting folate metabolism or cell division) you should consult a healthcare provider.

• Even though the form is “bio‑active”, it complements but does not replace a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
