1. 5-MTHF is an essential nutrient that is a part of the B vitamin group and plays an important role in processes like methylation.
2. Unfortunately, many individuals don't get sufficient amounts of this nutrient because of intestinal or liver dysfunction.
3. Another reason could be their genetic makeup as approximately three out of five Americans are unable to efficiently convert folic acid into its most active form.
4. A deficiency of this nutrient can lead to many issues like low birthweight infants, neural tube defects in pregnant women, and disturbances in mood due to less production of serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, epinephrine, etc.
5. A daily dose of 1 milligram of this nutrient is recommended for fetal support but healthcare practitioners may advise increasing that amount under some circumstances.
6. 5-MTHF 1 mg provides 1.7 mg of this active folate per capsule.
