"I've spent a big part of my career studying the impact of nutrition on fertility, and my top recommendation for women trying to conceive is to take at least 800 mcg of folate daily."

MTHF Folate for fetal development

Helps prevent neural tube defects

Helps prevent neural tube defects

The CDC recommends that women consume 0.4 mg of folic acid (which is converted in the body into 5-MTHF) per day to reduce the risk of having a pregnancy affected with spina bifida or other neural tube defects. Our MTHF Folate exceeds this.‡

Formulated with high bioavailability MTHF folate to help protect against neural tube defects.

MTHF folate (L-5-MTHF) is the most abundant folate found in the human body. It is naturally found in food, but is most easily absorbed from a dietary supplement. MTHF folate is the highest bioavailability folate found in dietary supplements. It can be immediately utilized by your body and doesn’t need to be converted by the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR).

Non-GMO, but that doesn’t really matter.

Along with 88% of polled scientists, Natalist believes that the majority of genetically modified (GM) foods are safe. That said, we also believe that bioengineered ingredients should be clearly labeled so that consumers can make an informed purchase decision. Transparency is essential in building trust between brands and consumers. Our products clearly state if they do or do not contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Discuss your dietary supplement routine with your doctor.

There’s a lot of junk science out there, and products being sold with grand promises, but little or no data to back it up. We stand by our products and only sell supplements with ample clinical evidence supporting the claims. We try to be very clear about who would benefit most from these supplements, but it’s also important to discuss your dietary supplement routine with your physician who can give further guidance.

ALLERGEN WARNING:

This product is manufactured and packaged in a facility which may also process milk, soy, wheat, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, and crustacean shellfish.

Here's some of the research that went into making our MTHF Folate supplement.

Commonly asked questions about Natalist's MTHF Folate

Is your MTHF gluten-free?

Yes!

Is your MTHF GMO-free?

Yes, our MTHF Folate is non-GMO. 

How should I take MTHF?

That is totally up to you. Some people find it most convenient to take all of their vitamins for the day together; others prefer to space them out. Some take them in the morning; some take them at night. Some take them with food; others don’t. Experiment and find what works best for you.


We always recommend connecting with your personal healthcare provider before making any changes to your vitamin and supplement routine. 

Will MTHF make me nauseous?

It’s possible, but unlikely. If they do, try taking them with food or before bed to lessen this effect. 

How should I store my MTHF?

For optimal results, vitamins should be stored in a cool, dry place. Avoid placing your vitamins in areas with excess heat or moisture; these elements can start to deteriorate the product and reduce their potency. 

Does your MTHF Folate contain folate or folic acid?

Our product utilizes folate in the natural form of 5-MTHF. For information on MTHF folate, read here

What is the difference between Methylated Folate and Folic Acid?

While the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, folic acid is a synthetic form of folate made in a laboratory. It’s found in vitamins, and it is also used in fortification of some processed foods. Methylated folate is dietary folate that can also be found in prenatal vitamins. It’s a bit confusing, but MTHF folate can go by many names, such as levomefolic acid, L-5-MTHF, L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, and (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, (6S)-5-MTHF. They are all the same kind of folate. Folic and folate are both within prenatal supplements, but you can read more on if folate or folic acid is better for prenatal vitamins.

Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes. You can take MTHF Folate while breastfeeding, however, we always recommend connecting with your healthcare provider prior to making any changes to your vitamin and supplement routine.

Do these expire?

Yes, all good things must come to an end. Check the expiration date on the bottle. 

What if I take too many vitamins?

Call poison control at 800-222-1222.

How big is the Natalist MTHF?

Our MTHF Folate is a tablet that is 11/32” round.

What is this bottle made of?

Our supplement bottles are made of HDPE plastic (#2), BPA and phalate free, and are blue-bin recyclable. 

So, why should you take 5 Methylfolate when trying to conceive?

Simply put, it can help support healthy fetal development.
