Methylation is a multi-step biochemical process that occurs in the intestines and liver. For individuals with certain genetic enzyme defects or intestinal/liver dysfunction, this process may not occur sufficiently to meet the body's needs. 5-MTHF is a form of folate that the body can more easily use, and is involved in important functions like the metabolism of homocysteine and production of neurotransmitters.

**While some individuals may benefit from 5-MTHF supplementation, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional to determine if it is appropriate for you.
