Methylated folate, in the all-natural 6s isomer form. L-5-MTHF provides folate in a bioidentical and bioactive form, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. L-5-MTHF (the "L" meaning it is the all-natural [6S] isomer) is the active circulating form of folate found in the body and one of many forms found in foods. In nature, it is found only in this [6S] isomer form; therefore, DFH provides 5-MTHF in this natural form rather than in the mixed (or racemic) form. L-5-MTHF was designed for patients who have demonstrated an increased need for folate, such as those with the A1298C or C677T MTHFR mutations. Our L-5-MTHF uses the patented folate derivative Quatrefolic®. This innovative form of folate has demonstrated high bioavailability, solubility, and long-term stability. Quatrefolic's L-5-MTHF significantly increases blood folate levels better than folic acid.
