5-MTHF 5mg 60c by Thorne – Methylation Support with Active Folate
5-MTHF 5 mg capsules by Thorne provide active methylfolate, a ready-to-use form of folate, in a 60-capsule bottle. This high-strength formula supplies 5 mg of L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate per capsule, listed on the label as 8.3 mg DFE, for practitioner-guided methylation support.
Key 5-MTHF 5mg 60c Benefits
- Supports normal methylation, the transfer of small chemical groups that helps many everyday cellular processes run properly.
- Helps maintain normal homocysteine metabolism by supplying the folate form used to recycle homocysteine into methionine.
- Provides folate for DNA synthesis and normal cell division, supporting the ongoing renewal of cells throughout the body.
How 5-MTHF 5mg 60c Works
Folate is vitamin B9, a nutrient used to transfer small chemical units between molecules. This formula provides its methylated form, which works with vitamin B12 in homocysteine metabolism: recycling homocysteine into the amino acid methionine. Methionine then contributes to the supply of methyl groups used in other normal cell processes. Folate also supports DNA synthesis and normal cell division.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate: Supports normal folate status and homocysteine metabolism. This active form donates a methyl group that helps vitamin B12-dependent enzymes recycle homocysteine into methionine. That step replenishes materials for everyday methylation reactions, making this ingredient a targeted source of nutritional methylation support.
5-MTHF 5mg 60c Is Formulated For
- People whose healthcare practitioner recommends a 5 mg active folate supplement.
- Those seeking a single-nutrient methylfolate formula rather than a multivitamin.

INTERACTIONS: 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) supplementation is not recommended concurrent with methotrexate cancer therapy, as it can interfere with methotrexate's anti-neoplastic activity; however, this folate source has not been shown to interfere with the anti-inflammatory activity of methotrexate. An individual taking methotrexate for psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis can safely take a supplement containing folate.
Discuss this high-strength folate and any medicines with your prescriber; do not change a prescribed treatment or add it to methotrexate therapy on your own.
