Ingredients explained
(6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (from Quatrefolic glucosamine salt)
5-MTHF donates methyl groups for one‑carbon metabolism, supporting homocysteine remethylation to methionine and providing folate for DNA synthesis and normal cell division.
Caution: High folate intake may mask low vitamin B12 status; consider monitoring B12, especially in older adults or those with limited B12 absorption.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adults only. Older adults and those with conditions that may reduce vitamin B12 absorption should monitor vitamin B12 status, as high-dose folate may mask vitamin B12 deficiency. Consult a physician if pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medicines (especially phenobarbital, phenytoin, primidone, or methotrexate), or if you have a medical condition, particularly nutrient malabsorption.
Who should be cautious: People with a history of vitamin B12 deficiency, anaemia of unclear cause, or malabsorption concerns may need extra caution. Those taking anticonvulsants or methotrexate should seek medical advice due to potential interactions. If combining with medications, consult a healthcare provider first.

Methyl folate is the biologically active, naturally occurring form of folate that is used for fundamental body functions like normal cell division and the synthesis of neurotransmitters and DNA. Unlike regular folic acid, methyl folate has been shown to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, where it helps to support neurological health. Quatrefolic® is a patented form of methyl folate that has demonstrated bioavailability superior to that of folate from dietary sources.
