Methyl Folate 600µg - 90 Capsules as Quatrefolic 5-MTHF Supplement 6S-5-methyltetrahydrofolate – The 4th Generation of Folate a Highly bioactive Form of Folic Acid/Vitamin B9 – Made in The UK

I read that a surprising amount of people are unable to convert folate into a useable nutrient, so to have this pre-methylated folate in an easily swallowed little tablet is excellent.I can’t take multivitamins as many of the vitamins in them upset my stomach, so I prefer to take individual supplements so that I can isolate the one causing the problem. As my folate levels were a little low, I thought I’d try these.Packaging the tablets in a letterbox-friendly bottle is brilliant, and the tablets are small enough to go down easily. They haven’t upset my stomach, so I’m happy to keep taking them.It’s a few months until my next round of blood tests but I feel confident that my folate levels will have increased. If that’s the case then I’ll happily keep up with these.

I usually take 1000µg daily of 5-MTHF so these 600µg tablets are almost half my usual daily dose. I was aware of that when I ordered them so no complaints from me. I like the fact that the active ingredient is the quality assured Quatrefolic manufactured folate.Because the dose is smaller than my usual daily dose I rotate these 600µg tablets (one a day as advised on the packaging) with my other brand 1000µg tablets.In terms of price per tablet I'm not too impressed because compared to my usual 1000µg tablets, there is not much difference between these xSpan Labs capsules and my usual manufacturer's offering. Quatrefolic I suppose has a price premium.I don't like the fact that the bulking agent in these tablets is maltodextrin. I think it's very unlikely that the small amount of maltodextrin in each capsule will have a physical impact upon me in terms of blood sugar. Still, I don't like the eating maltodextrin (just a personal thing) and so a neutral bulking agent would have been preferable for me.The capsules are standard clear/white capsules. They are easy to swallow and slightly smaller than my 1000µg capsules.I like the fact that these capsules contain Quatrefolic because I had pretty much given up on buying an affordable Quatrefolic based supplement. I don't like the fact that maltodextrin is the bulking agent. I also struggle with the fact that the price of these 600µg capsules is close to the cost of my usual 1000µg capsules albeit those capsules aren't Quatrefolic branded.I may buy these xSpan Labs capsules again because I trust the active ingredient. I would probably go for a 1000µg preparation though and I don't think that xSpan produces a 1000µg capsule.

I have been in the supplement business for many years. MF is one of those incredible supplements most people should take, as it protects one of the most vital organs of the body, the Liver. The liver has so many functions involved in life. It cleanses, and it sends signals to the pancreas to help with insulin. If it gets fatty the body will decay from within. Keeping the liver clean will also help with hormones. MF will help treat a fatty liver, it can help with depression, anaemia and a whole host of other vital functions. This particular brand is a good company. I have tried many of their supplements before. It takes time for liver regeneration and taking this product with Milk Thistle and Cholie will also help fix, cleanse or just keep your liver in good shape. Overall, this is a good product that I know is working. I record my blood sugar and insulin on a daily basis and this product helps keep the glucose in check, by helping the liver to regulate the pancreas. Recommended.

Small capsules, easy to swallowUseful to use during pregnancy or if you are thinking of starting a family.There are plenty of food sources for folic acid but these are easier for the body to absorb..I read somewhere that older people can benefit from a bit of extra vitamin b9 so I'm giving these a try.One a day so these will last three months, I consider these to be well priced.Four stars for now, we'll see how we go.

I bought this on the hype that methylated folic acid might be better absorbed by individual with different genetics. So I tried just in case. However I see better effect with plain standard folic acid and that is 400 mcg.

On the label they have said to consult your health practitioner before taking any supplements. I always feel it's good to know what a supplement does, and any contra-indications (reasons to not take it), etc. I tend to begin reading places like WebMD as well.Obviously, there are some supplements we take more readily than others.This, in my view, is one to be VERY cautious in taking. To my understanding, it is a version of Folic Acid that's far more bioavailable. I have read about people having some severe reactions to this, and some great successes. A potentially highly potent supplement.I must stress, I am not a medical practitioner or expert. But in my reading up on this I've found all kinds including ensuring you're getting a balance of vitamins, not taking normal Folic Acid etc as well.I would recommend thorough research on this supplement before ordering/taking.Well done to the company for providing this supplement and using careful labelling!A fascinating supplement!Five Stars.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

At just 11p per capsule this is a cheap and affordable supplement, and provides a very high quality and highly bioavailable form of folate.While it's not a supplement you will feel working, it does support methylation in the body, and this is something that's implicated in longevity which I am very interested in.For the cost and this form, this is a good supplement, so if you need more folate in your diet, this does seem like a very good option.

Fantastic. I have a genetic variant that causes issues with absorbtion/methylation of certain vitamins including folate, so this methylated version is exactly what I needed. My energy levels have improved noticeably since I started taking this. As a bonus, the capsules are tiny and really easy to swallow.
