5-MTHF, Vimergy

Vimergy 5-MTHF provides 5mg of highly absorbable methylfolate per capsule to support your brain health. The addition of 500mcg of B12 from a blend of adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin brings further enhancement to Vimergy 5- MTHF.

The folate comes from the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (a patented form of highly bioavailable methylfolate) that is structurally analogous to the reduced and active form of folate. Our 5-MTHF delivers a “finished” folate the body can immediately use without any kind of metabolization.

5-MTHF, 5- methyltetrahydrofolate, and methylfolate are all different names for the same nutrient that is in Vimergy 5- MTHF. Vimergy 5-MTHF provides a highly bioavailable and absorbable form of 5-MTHF/methylfolate with a further enhancement of B12.

Our 5-MTHF comes from a glucosamine salt versus the calcium salt many competitors use because the glucosamine salt has far greater water solubility. The oral bioavailability of an active ingredient is highly dependent on its solubility. The absorption of the compound happens after dispersion and solution in gastrointestinal fluid.

We use a small amount of the right kinds of bioavailable B12 (adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin) in our 5-MTHF capsules. It's not intended to be a replacement for all of your B12 supplementation but rather a special synergistic enhancement to the 5-MTHF. If you are wanting to supplement B12, we highly recommend still taking Vimergy B12 liquid, which contains a higher and more concentrated dose of B12 that we know most of our community are seeking.

DFE stands for Dietary Folate Equivalents. DFE is a new way to measure folate metabolism which is now required by the FDA on all supplement labels. Depending on how you calculate DFE (there are a few different ways) The amount of 5- MTHF in the product is still 5mg.

As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule, 1-2 times daily.

We were able to downsize our 5-MTHF capsule size while of course keeping the same potency and ingredients in the supplement as we have always had. We find our customers generally prefer to take smaller capsules as they are easier to swallow. The product is exactly the same, the label is just a more simplified version for clarity. We are committed to always offering the best products possible, and that includes making improvements, such as reducing capsule size, when possible.

There were recent changes to the 5-MTHF label, the formula is the same, the DFE is rounded slightly differently in the two labels. The amount of 5-MTHF in the product is still 5mg.
