Why Methylated Folate Is the Better Choice — For Everyone

If you're choosing a folate supplement, the best option is methylated folate (5-MTHF).

Unlike folic acid, 5-MTHF is already in the active form your body can use. That means your body doesn't need to convert it before your cells can absorb and utilise it.

For people with normal MTHFR function, methylated folate is an effective source of folate. For those with reduced conversion ability, it may offer a significant advantage because it bypasses the conversion step. Choosing the more bioavailable form can help ensure your body has access to active folate when it needs it.

The Nutrinest Methylated Folate contains 5-MTHF in a delicious raspberry-flavoured chewable tablet. Each bottle contains 60 tablets and retails for R280. If you've been taking a standard folic acid supplement and are looking for a more bioavailable option, switching to methylated folate is worth considering.

As always, speak to your healthcare provider before starting any supplement, especially if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy.
