{"product_id":"5-mthf","title":"Thorne 5-MTHF 60 Capsules","description":"\u003ch3\u003eUse\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolic acid must be converted to its active forms to be used by the body. This is a multi-step biochemical process that occurs in the intestines and liver. In the presence of intestinal or liver dysfunction this conversion may not occur sufficiently enough to meet the body's needs. 5-MTHF supplementation may be a potential method of folate repletion. In concert with vitamin B12, 5-MTHF functions as a methyl-group donor involved in the conversion of the amino acid homocysteine to methionine. Methyl-group donation is vital to many biochemical conversion processes, including the synthesis of serotonin, melatonin, and DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolate (as 5-Methyl-tetrahydrofolate†) — 1 mg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.
