Product Information
What is Cytoplan Methylfolate good for?
Cytoplan Methylfolate delivers folate in its most bioactive form, 5-MTHF, providing 400µg per capsule. Unlike synthetic folic acid, which must be converted before the body can use it, methylfolate is ready for immediate absorption and utilisation. This is particularly important for individuals with genetic variations such as MTHFR polymorphisms, who may struggle to process folic acid efficiently.
Folate contributes to many vital processes in the body. It helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, supports normal energy metabolism, contributes to healthy psychological function, and promotes the normal development of cells and tissues. Folate also plays an essential role in pregnancy by supporting the growth of maternal tissue and the developing baby.
Key Ingredients in Cytoplan Methylfolate

FAQs
What’s the difference between folic acid and methylfolate?
Methylfolate is the active form of folate, ready for the body to use. Folic acid must be converted, which some people cannot do efficiently due to genetic variations like MTHFR mutations.
Why should I choose methylfolate over folic acid?
Methylfolate is more bioavailable and effective, ensuring your body gets active folate without the need for conversion.
Can I take methylfolate during pregnancy?
Yes, folate is essential for maternal tissue growth and foetal development, making methylfolate especially valuable during pregnancy.
Does this help with fatigue?
Yes, folate contributes to normal energy metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes, the capsules are 100% vegan and free from common allergens and artificial ingredients.
What is homocysteine metabolism and why does folate matter?
Folate helps regulate homocysteine, an amino acid linked with cardiovascular and cognitive health when levels are high.
How is methylfolate absorbed compared to folic acid?
Methylfolate is absorbed directly and immediately used, whereas folic acid requires enzymatic conversion, which may be inefficient for some people.
Can I take this with a multivitamin?
Yes, it can be combined with other supplements, but check overall folate intake to stay within safe limits.
