A large portion of the population carries a common genetic variation called \u003cstrong\u003eMTHFR\u003c\/strong\u003e that makes this conversion difficult or even impossible — meaning regular folic acid may not be delivering the folate their body actually needs. Methylfolate — specifically (6S)-5-MTHF — is the form your body is trying to make from folic acid. It’s already converted, already active, and ready to work the moment you take it. NOW Foods uses \u003cstrong\u003eQuatrefolic®\u003c\/strong\u003e, a patented glucosamine salt form of (6S)-5-MTHF with proven superior absorption compared to standard folic acid. Beyond the MTHFR angle, methylfolate matters for everyone: it’s essential for DNA synthesis, healthy cell division, neurotransmitter production, and keeping homocysteine levels in check. And unlike folic acid, it crosses the blood-brain barrier — making it directly available to support brain health and neurological function. At 1,000 mcg (1,700 mcg DFE, 425% DV) per tablet, this is a meaningful therapeutic dose in a clean, one-tablet-daily format. 90 tablets — 90-day supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiologically active, metabolically ready form of folate — no conversion required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for those with MTHFR gene variants who cannot efficiently convert folic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosses the blood-brain barrier — supports neurological health and neurotransmitter synthesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports normal cell division and DNA synthesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy homocysteine metabolism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports cardiovascular health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports prenatal health — folate is critical during early pregnancy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuatrefolic® — patented (6S)-5-MTHF glucosamine salt with superior bioavailability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan, kosher, halal, non-GMO, GMP quality assured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90 tablets — 90-day supply at 1 tablet daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFormula Highlights\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolate as Quatrefolic® (6S)-5-MTHF Glucosamine Salt\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1,000 mcg (6S)-5-MTHF \/ 1,700 mcg DFE per tablet (425% DV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuatrefolic® — patented form with clinically proven superior bioavailability over folic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive co-enzyme form — directly utilisable without MTHFR-dependent conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosses the blood-brain barrier — supports neurological function directly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSupplement Facts\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Size: 1 Tablet | Servings Per Container: 90\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"4\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #A3A3A3; width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmount Per Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e% Daily Value\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFolate (from Quatrefolic® (6S)-5-MTHF Glucosamine Salt)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,700 mcg DFE \/ 1,000 mcg (6S)-5-MTHF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e425%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSuggested Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1 tablet daily with a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eOther Ingredients\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicrocrystalline cellulose, stearic acid (vegetable source), silicon dioxide.
