Ingredients explained
(6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (Quatrefolic)
5-MTHF is the active folate form that donates methyl groups for one-carbon metabolism, supporting DNA synthesis, normal cell division, and methylation processes involved in neurotransmitter production.
Caution: If vitamin B12 status is low, high folate intake may hide signs of B12 deficiency, so adults with possible low B12 should monitor B12 levels; consult a healthcare professional if using certain medications like methotrexate or anti-seizure drugs due to potential interactions.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Older adults and those with conditions that may impair vitamin B12 absorption should check vitamin B12 status, as high-dose folate may mask vitamin B12 deficiency. Consult a physician if pregnant or nursing, taking medications (especially phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, or methotrexate), or have a medical condition (especially any condition involving nutrient malabsorption).
Who should be cautious: People with a history of vitamin B12 deficiency, anemia of unclear cause, or nutrient malabsorption concerns may need extra caution. Those using anticonvulsants or methotrexate should discuss use with a healthcare provider before starting.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place after opening.
