Pure Encapsulations Folate 1,000 — Metafolin, the original active folate
Metafolin is the Merck-patented L-5-MTHF that most of the early methylfolate research was done with. Pure Encapsulations delivers 1,000 mcg of it per capsule with nothing but cellulose and a vegetarian capsule around it — a folate that works regardless of MTHFR genetics.
Who I reach for it with: MTHFR variants; methylation, neurotransmitter and DNA-synthesis support; cardiovascular and homocysteine protocols; pre-conception; anyone who wants the most hypoallergenic folate available.
What makes it different: Metafolin form, 90 capsules, and Pure Encapsulations' free-from standard — no wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, coatings or magnesium stearate.
Protocol fit: pairs with methyl-B12 and Magnesium Glycinate; Thorne 5-MTHF and Designs for Health L-5-MTHF are the same 1 mg dose in other forms and counts.
FAQ — Is this the same as 5-MTHF? Yes — Metafolin is L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, the same active molecule.
FAQ — When should I take it? One capsule daily with a meal.
