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.

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 recommend you consult your doctor if you have any concerns. 

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’s the perfect supplement that promotes healthy fertility because it can both increase the chance of a healthy fetus and can help strengthen your reproductive system.
