The most bioavailable form of folate available - Quatrefolic 5-MTHF bypasses the MTHFR conversion step entirely, delivering active folate directly to support mood, energy, and cellular repair during perimenopause.
Up to 40% of the population has a genetic variation (MTHFR polymorphism) that makes it harder to convert standard folic acid into its active form. During perimenopause, when mood fluctuations, fatigue, and cellular repair become more pressing, having folate in its ready-to-use methylated form matters more than ever. Our Methyl Folate uses Quatrefolic, the patented 4th-generation folate technology that provides 5-MTHF - the form your body actually uses - without requiring any conversion.
Why This Formula
✔ Quatrefolic 5-MTHF is the most bioavailable folate form - no conversion required, regardless of your MTHFR status
✔ Supports normal psychological function and mood regulation during hormonal transitions
✔ Contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
✔ Supports normal homocysteine metabolism - important for cardiovascular health
✔ Essential for cell division and tissue growth - supporting repair and renewal
✔ Patented Quatrefolic technology ensures stability and bioavailabilityWho It's For
Perimenopausal women experiencing mood changes, fatigue, or low energy who want to ensure their folate status is optimised regardless of genetic variations. Also valuable for women concerned about cardiovascular health, as folate supports healthy homocysteine levels.

Reviews
I read that a surprising amount of people are unable to convert folate into a useable nutrient, so it makes sense to buy the active form. I can’t take multivitamins as many of the vitamins in them upset my stomach, so I prefer to take individual ones where needed. Packaging the tablets in a letterbox-friendly bottle is brilliant, and the tablets are small enough to be easily swallowed. It’s a few months until my next round of blood tests but I feel confident that my folate levels will be significantly higher after taking these. Gentle and effective.
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.
I have been in the supplement business for many years. MF is one of those incredible supplements most people don't know about. It's very good for the liver. Excellent quality here. Highly recommended.
I usually take 1000µg daily of 5-MTHF so these 600µg tablets are almost half my usual daily dose.
Help me with mental clarity. Was a bit cynical at first but definitely help.
