Vegan Methylfolate

We recommend taking 1 lozenge with the first meal of the day, preferably when you start your day as the nutrient is somewhat energizing. Some people take a second lozenge at lunch to maintain a steady flow of folate in the blood stream as folate has a short half-life in the body.

Methylfolate is the active, methylated form of folate. This means it’s already in a form that the body can directly use without needing further conversion. The addition of the methyl group is critical because it allows methylfolate to participate in the body's methylation cycle, a process that helps regulate a wide range of biological functions, including gene expression, detoxification, and neurotransmitter production.

Generally, Methylfolate supports normal and healthy fetal neural development and aids in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, helping to maintain normal, healthy blood homocysteine levels, which is crucial for cardiovascular health. It also promotes mental focus and concentration.† Along with Vitamin B-12, methylfolate contributes to the healthy formation of red blood cells, which are vital for transporting oxygen throughout the body.†

Yes, there is a recommended upper limit for methylfolate intake, though it can vary depending on individual health factors and needs.

For most adults, the recommended daily dose of folate (including methylfolate) is about 400 micrograms (mcg) from all sources. For pregnant women, this increases to 600 mcg per day. While the recommended upper intake limit for folic acid (the synthetic form) is 1,000 mcg (1 mg) per day, there is less consensus on a strict upper limit for methylfolate (The source found in PlantFusion Methylfolate), as it is the bioactive form of folate and more efficiently used by the body.

However, high doses of methylfolate (over 1,000 mcg per day) are typically not recommended unless advised by a healthcare provider. In some cases, people with certain genetic variations (such as MTHFR mutations) may benefit from higher doses under supervision.†
