5-MTHF 1 MG
El 5-MTHF es una forma activa de folato, lista para los tejidos. Es una vitamina B esencial que apoya la metilación. Muchas personas no obtienen suficiente 5-MTHF porque tienen disfunción intestinal o hepática o debido a su composición genética.
Muchas personas no obtienen suficiente 5-MTHF (L-5-metiltetrahidrofolato), la forma activa del ácido fólico, porque tienen disfunción intestinal o hepática, o porque se encuentran entre los tres de cada cinco estadounidenses cuya composición genética dificulta la conversión del ácido fólico en 5-MTHF activo. La deficiencia de ácido fólico se ha relacionado con bebés con bajo peso al nacer y defectos del tubo neural, razón por la cual los Centros para el Control de Enfermedades recomiendan la suplementación con ácido fólico para todas las mujeres en edad fértil. Dado que el 5-MTHF también contribuye a la producción de serotonina, melatonina, dopamina, epinefrina y norepinefrina, la suplementación apoya un estado de ánimo saludable.
Nota: Se recomienda 1 mg de 5-MTHF para el apoyo fetal durante el embarazo; la opción de 15 mg se recomienda solo cuando lo indique un profesional de la salud.
Es importante que una mujer en edad fértil obtenga suficiente ácido fólico, no solo aquellas mujeres que planean quedar embarazadas.* Debido a que la mitad de los embarazos no son planificados, cualquier mujer que pueda quedar embarazada debe obtener suficiente ácido fólico todos los días. La ingesta de ácido fólico es especialmente importante antes de la concepción y durante el embarazo temprano, ya que su mayor necesidad es durante el primer trimestre, cuando una mujer quizás ni siquiera sepa que está embarazada. La suplementación con la forma activa de ácido fólico, 5-MTHF (L-5 metiltetrahidrofolato), siempre es preferible.
Actuando con la vitamina B12, el 5-MTHF funciona como donante de grupos metilo, facilitando así la conversión del aminoácido homocisteína en metionina. Un nivel elevado de homocisteína es un factor de riesgo para una serie de condiciones de salud indeseables. La donación de grupos metilo es vital para muchos procesos de conversión bioquímica, incluida la síntesis de serotonina, melatonina y ADN.
Tomar 1 cápsula de una a tres veces al día o según lo recomendado por un profesional de la salud.

My doc wants me to take this and methyl B12 because my homocysteine is too high and I have the MTHFR gene mutation. I haven’t taken it long enough to see any difference in homocysteine levels, but I do notice a couple positive things: 1. My hair has stopped falling out by the hands full, 2. The myriad of seborrheic keratosis “barnacles” that I have all over have started to disappear.
Unfortunately, this stuff is like pure speed to my system. I have to take it very early in the morning and now have to take melatonin to sleep. Still experimenting with how much and what kind. Could be worse I guess !

Organic Chamomile with Lavender
I've been using essential oil balms for aches and pains, and they definitely help but their smell is rather strong. Magsoothium cream, by contrast, has a mild, pleasant flowery smell. I use it when I go out and do find it effective for moderate pain. I also use it at bedtime on my calves, as the magnesium helps with leg cramps which often wake me up - and it might be helping me to sleep better as well! I first ordered the small size to test it out, but took advantage of a recent sale and ordered two of the large size.
I appreciate how Village Green supplies the order quickly and efficiently!
High quality goods, well-informed friendly staff, reasonable pricing and regular discounts. Feels old school and good to have a small shop that's so well stocked.
I have been ordering from Village Green Apothecary for years and can’t say enough about the staff’s expertise and all they have available for customers in guidance and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Louis & Tatiana for their guidance, help & support for years. I am forever grateful! I also want to thank Brian, Kirsten, Kayla & the pharmacist for all their help. Another positive about Village Green is their rewards program, supplement sales which are often and especially their phenomenal semi-annual store wide sales. I have recommended Village Green Apothecary to all those I know!
