Fresh Nutrition L Methylfolate 7.5mg – Maximum Potency – Superior Bioavailability – 5-MTHF Methyl Folate for Mood, Cognition, Immunity, Cardiovascular, Neurological, Reproductive Health - 60 Capsules

I really hope and pray that the manufacturer of this supplement never stops making it. I purchased it (11 times so far) because my doctor had me do genetic testing which found that I have a mutation in the MTHFR gene that stops my brain from processing folate correctly. I started taking it, and within a month or so, my thinning hair began to fill out! This is not even the reason I started taking it (was to help anxiety/mood). I searched and searched for several years to find something that would help my hair grow back after surgical menopause and chemotherapy, only to find this by accident. So I am very happy. Easy to take, no aftertaste, goes right down. And my mood is good. A game changer for me.

Since I am a heart failure survivor, I took an interest in this product since it states that it supports cardiovascular health. I was glad that they are easy to swallow, with NO nasty aftertaste! It was at a great price with a two month supply. They are all natural without added additives as well as vegan. These are all a big plus for me. After talking this product, I began to feel more "mellow" but not in a weird way. I was just able to handle things differently. As well as I have had improved sleep while taking this. This is a must try product.

First, as some others have mentioned, this is a small, tasteless, odorless capsule that's pretty easy to swallow. That was a big bonus. You only need one per day, and there are 90 pills so that's a good value for the money as well. During the weeks that I've taken this supplement, although it hasn't been miraculous of course because things take time, but I have to say that I have felt a bit more "bright eyed and bushy tailed." And knowing that it's vegan makes me feel great about putting it in my body. There is one side effect that I wasn't expecting however. Forgive the TMI but one drawback that I wasn't expecting has been that my menstrual cycle has been elongated and heavier. I mean the darn thing doesn't want to stop, despite my having an IUD, which makes my periods all but nonexistent. With that said, I love the fact that my moods are good and I feel a bit sharper. I also love that it's beneficial for my cardiovascular health (all major lures for me as someone with Lupus). That one side effect however is definitely one to consider for women.

So, in 2015 and with a long list of health complaints, my doctor ordered a couple thousand dollars worth of blood tests including some genetic tests. One of the things she told me at the time was that I was an "undermethylator" and should take methyl folate. I took some at the time, but I have never been able to swallow pills all that well and so it wasn't long before I stopped taking that and the dozen other giant pills I was expected to toss down the gullet all day every day. I am just a bad and non-compliant patient that way. Fast forward to 2020. In those 5 years, I can't tell you how many thousands of dollars I have spent in alternative healthcare, since traditional medicine dismissed my fibro decades ago. I started reading up on MTHFR gene mutation and pulled my 2015 lab results to review. Turns out I have a heterozygous mutation on one gene and a homozygous mutation on the other. Long story short, the recommendation for that is a prescription strength version of this supplement at 15mg. So I figured I would try it out to see if this time around, it would make a difference in my life. The short answer is, yes, I think it does! :) For the first time in years, my fibromyalgia pain in almost nothing, which for me is HUGE. I have literally started running again, for the first time in 8 years. Now, I am not saying that's all on the methyl folate supplementation. However, I am also taking two prescription medications, which I have taken in the past but without the methylfolate, and did not havec the same experience. And like I said, I took methylfolate in the past but in combination with other meds, and also did not have the same results. But for whatever reason, I think I have finally stumbled on the magical combination of stuff to control my inflamation. I am looking forward to going back to the doctor for repeat labs to see how this has affected my cardiac health. In terms of mood and brain health, I don't know if it's the supplement itself, or the fact that I no longer feel so crappy, but I can definitely say that my mood has improved in the time I was taking it as well. I will also add that the capsules are small in comparison to some of the horse pills I have been asked to swallow in the past. I still have troubles with them and have to chew them or open them and mix with a liquid sometimes, but not nearly as bad as some other supplements I have taken in the past. So, if you're a genetic mutant like me ;) I think it's definitely worth trying it out. If you are not sure about your MTHFR status (it's a pretty common mutation from what I have read), YMWV but it can't hurt to try it and see if it makes a difference for you.

doesn’t smell like feet!!! thank GOD these capsules aren’t pungent and gross like many many many other supplements and vitamins out there (iykyk)!!! It’s too soon to say how effective these are, but the quality of the capsules are worth noting!

I wasn't sure if this would actually do anything for me, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it has had a positive affect on my mental health in more ways than one. I often have crazy mood swings, have trouble focusing and remembering things, and often feel distracted and unmotivated. I've noticed many changes since taking this supplement. I'm finding that my moods are more stable, it has been easier for me to concentrate and focus on things (which is super important because I am working full-time and going to school full-time for my Master's degree!), and I have more energy throughout the day. Besides all the wonderful benefits, I also love that it is vegan and gluten-free as it can often be hard to find supplements that are vegan and actually work. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their mood and cognition.

*Must have for all moms!* This product delivers! I bought it because since COVID and homeschool began I have had an awful mental fog and fatigue I just couldn’t shake. After some research I found this gem. I was pleasantly surprised that there wasn’t any odors or gross after taste. It went down with ease. Within about an hour (the first use) I felt alive again. Not being over dramatic but seriously! The brain fog was gone! I was able yo focus and have clarity. Homeschooling and dealing with kids and working from home is now a breeze. It also did help with my hormonal acne (side effect of meds per my obgyn)! It also helped me lose some weight! I breastfeed and am gluten free and vegan so the ingredients list was so important to me. It’s hard to find amazing supplements that are not full of the gross things our body doesn’t need. Would 100% reccomend and I will be buying monthly!

For the past two weeks I have taken one pill in the morning as soon as I wake up. They are quite small and easy to swallow and have no flavor at all. I have noticed more motivation to get things done and I believe it has helped with my recent depression by putting me on the move. I am more focused and yet I don't feel strange or jittery as I do with energy or diet pills but they obviously carry me productively through the day. I have also noticed that I have lost a few pounds in these past two weeks, probably because I am more active. Overall, I can say that they have made me feel better, enhanced my mood and given me more energy. I would absolutely recommend trying!
