Methyl Folate (L-5-MTHF)
Research: 5/6Safety: 5/5$10/month
L-methylfolate is the biologically active form of folate, bypassing the MTHFR enzyme conversion step that some people (reportedly 30-40% of the population) perform inefficiently. Evidence supports its use for high homocysteine, pregnancy planning, and as adjunctive in some mood protocols. If you have no MTHFR variants, regular folic acid or food folate works fine and costs less. Overdosing masks B12 deficiency on blood tests, so pair with B12 if supplementing long-term.
