Folate in its active methylated form 5-MTHF — 400 mcg per capsule, double the recommended daily intake.
Capsules · 60 pieces · 1 per day · two months of intake · for vegans
A product from the Power of Nature PLATINUM series. With regular folic acid, the body must convert it to its active form using the MTHFR enzyme. Here, this conversion has already been done: folate is in the form of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) — exactly the form the body works with. The manufacturer defines this as an advantage for people with reduced enzyme activity, which is relatively common. One capsule provides 400 mcg of folate, or 200% of the recommended daily intake.
The main benefits include:
- folate contributes to the growth of maternal tissues during pregnancy;
- contributes to normal blood formation;
- contributes to the normal synthesis of amino acids;
- contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism;
- contributes to normal psychological function;
- contributes to the normal function of the immune system;
- contributes to reducing fatigue and exhaustion;
- has a role in the process of cell division.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference with regular folic acid?
Regular folic acid is a synthetic form that the body converts to the active 5-MTHF via the MTHFR enzyme. Here, the folate is already in this active form, meaning the conversion step is skipped.
What is MTHFR and why does it matter?
MTHFR is the enzyme that performs the conversion. In some people, its activity is reduced due to genetic reasons. It is for them that the manufacturer offers the methylated form.
Is 400 mcg enough?
This is 200% of the recommended daily intake for an adult. During pregnancy and when planning a pregnancy, the dose is determined by a doctor - it may differ from the general recommendation.
Is it also suitable for men?
Yes. In addition to the pregnancy claim, folate contributes to normal blood formation, homocysteine metabolism, and the reduction of fatigue — this applies equally to both sexes.
Folate and vitamin B12 — should they be taken together?
Both work in the same metabolic pathway: both folate and vitamin B12 contribute to normal homocysteine metabolism and normal blood formation. Therefore, they are often taken together, and B12 deficiency is more common in older people and vegans.
Can it be combined with a multivitamin?
Yes. Multi-V Max Methyl contains 250 mcg of folate in the same methylated form — together with this capsule, the daily intake becomes 650 mcg. This is below the upper limit of 1,000 mcg per day, which EFSA set in 2023 for adults, including pregnant and lactating women. That is, the combination is permissible, but a large part of the second dose overlaps. In pregnancy, the dose is determined by a doctor.
Important
The food supplement does not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. The product is not intended to prevent, treat or cure human diseases. Consult a doctor during pregnancy and lactation, when taking medication and in the presence of a health problem. High folate intake may mask vitamin B12 deficiency - if suspected, consult a doctor. Store tightly closed in a dry and cool place at a temperature of up to 25 °C, away from heat, light and moisture, out of the reach of small children.
