Seeking Health L-Methylfolate 1mg Supports Healthy MTHFR, Mood, and methylation- 60 Capsules

I wish I had understood the difference between folic acid and folate a long time ago. The majority of U.S. Citizens need more natural folate in their diets, and folic acid can actually deplete levels. This form of folate (l-methylfolate) is the only form some people can process. Folate not only helps prevent birth defects, but is a precursor to our body's processing of melatonin. Instead of taking melatonin, if your body can get enough usable folate, it can manufacture its own melatonin (and properly process many other cell functions as well.) Since understanding my body chemistry better, I have been able to get off all the melatonin I was taking and use this which not only works better, but makes me feel better. I would strongly recommend anyone who is deficient in folic acid to try this instead and see if they don't have better results absorbing it.

This supplement is far more critical than people might realize. This product helps the body with it’s methylation cycle which involves many bodily processes and helps folate get into the body. Folic acid blocks folate and biochemical processes are blocked that are needed by the body. Folic acid is in supplements and food and if you are not on the look out for the presence of it your folate is being blocked. It is in “enriched bread” so be on the look out for that too. Wheat also blocks folate. Buy Dr. Lynch’s book “dirty genes” and learn more about these processes in the body. we deserve good health and you won’t know what’s wrong with yourself from traditional medicine. Dr. Lynch delivers powerful life changing supplements. You no longer have to suffer along from conditions after you read and apply what Dr. Lynch recommends and it works.

Great brand!

I have a genetic deficiency MTHFR for vitamins, I take this and one other vitamin to help obsorption. I only wish I knew about this years ago. Love that I can get this good quality sppliment here

This review isn’t super glowing nor do I have anything negative to say. Albeit the main problem I feel is that my body can methylate properly; therefore this product doesn’t have a huge upside. That being said I did notice a marked uptake in my ability to digest and sleep better. My overall feeling is that if you’re a one of the large percentage of American who find creating B vitamin folate problematic this stuff. Works.

I've read a lot about L-Methylfolate and wanted to try it. It's considered a medical food and works differently than antidepressants. The brain uses L-Methylfolate to make more of the neurotransmitters that affect mood. A majority of people with depression have a genetic mistake, called the MTHFR polymorphism. It is an enzyme defect that compromises the body's ability to break down folate (from the diet or from synthetic folic acid found in vitamin supplements) into the L-methylfolate the brain needs to make neurotransmitters. I like the fact that this product doesn't have any magnesium stearate, an additive found in many supplements and may be harmful therefore a cause for concern. Each capsule is 1000mcg. of Folate as Metafolin, a registered trademark of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt,Germany. L-methylfolate as Metafolin requires no conversion by the body and is superior to folic acid. While shopping around I found this product and bought some because I was impressed with the ingredients, dosage and good price.

This product was suggested to me by two different physicians to help me deal with anxiety/depression and memory issues. When taken as directed, I found it very helpful. I was able to think more clearly, which then helped my anxiety level to go down, which in turn helped me think more clearly---a wonderful reversal of my usual cycle. Please note the instructions that it is to be taken BETWEEN MEALS. When I first go it, it seemed hard to remember to take it mid-day, so I took it on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, thinking that would be the same as "between meals." Evidently it's not. When I took it mid-morning, between meals, there was a significant difference in its effectiveness. I would highly recommend this product!

I started taking this because I struggle to get enough folic acid in my diet and, for me, it's just cheaper to supplement, but I also have a partial mthfr mutation (I can't recall the technical term for it) ... so basically my body isn't as efficient as it should be in getting enough folic acid. In addition I have a lot of allergies, so this brand seemed to be my best option at this point. As far as feeling better (more energy,clarity,emotional "stability")... I haven't felt a lot of benefits, perhaps a bit of increased energy and emotional stability. Maybe I need a higher dosage...but I'm going to give it a week or two and see how it goes.
