Pure l-methylfolate 400mcg is Igennus doing what Igennus does best: one nutrient, the correct form, a stated dose, and none of the theatre. Each small tablet delivers 400mcg of L-methylfolate – 5-MTHF, folate’s bioactive form – which is the version the body uses directly, no enzymatic conversion required.

Why pure l-methylfolate 400mcg beats folic acid

Folic acid, the synthetic standard, must be converted through several enzymatic steps before the body can use it – and a substantial minority of people carry MTHFR gene variants that make those steps sluggish. Methylfolate arrives already converted. For anyone who has read about MTHFR, been advised by a practitioner, or simply prefers active forms on principle, this is the folate that skips the bottleneck entirely.

• 400mcg L-methylfolate (5-MTHF) per tablet – the bioactive form
• 180 small tablets: a genuine six-month supply
• Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Folate contributes to normal psychological function
• Clean label: no unnecessary fillers or colourants

The nutrient behind the initials

Folate earned its name from folium – leaf – because leafy greens are its natural home, and it remains the vitamin modern plates most reliably under-deliver once salads become occasional. It sits at the heart of methylation chemistry: folate contributes to normal blood formation, to normal homocysteine metabolism and to the normal function of the immune system. Women planning pregnancy have particular reasons to discuss folate with their midwife or pharmacist, and the methylated form is increasingly the one practitioners name.

Igennus documents the folic-acid-versus-methylfolate story properly – enzymes, gene variants, references – on the official Igennus site, which reads like the explainer the whole category owed its customers years ago.

Taking it

One tablet daily, with or without food – folate is flexible. The tablets are tiny, the pot lasts half a year, and the habit slots invisibly beside any multivitamin that uses plain folic acid or none at all. Check your multi’s label before doubling up; the point of stated doses is being able to do exactly that arithmetic.

Who reaches for it

Customers with known MTHFR variants; women in the planning-a-family conversation; plant-based eaters auditing their B vitamins; and practitioner clients sent with this exact product name written down – a regular occurrence, and the reason we keep the pot in steady stock.

Value deserves a line: six months of the premium folate form for less than many brands charge for three months of the ordinary one. Per microgram of usable folate, it is among the quietest bargains on our shelves.

A note on the 400mcg figure, because dose literacy is the whole point of a single-nutrient product. Four hundred micrograms mirrors the reference intake most European guidance names for adults, which makes pure l-methylfolate 400mcg easy to slot into routines without arithmetic gymnastics: one tablet equals one day, full stop. Practitioners who want higher intakes for specific chapters simply prescribe multiples, and the tiny tablet size makes that painless too.

Stacking guidance from the counter: this pairs most naturally with methylcobalamin B12 – folate and B12 work the same metabolic seam, and imbalanced supplementation of one can mask the other’s shortfall. Igennus sells both as clean single nutrients precisely so the pairing can be dosed deliberately. Vegans and vegetarians, whose B12 comes entirely from supplements anyway, most often run the two side by side.
