Cautions
For Practitioner Dispensing Only
If symptoms persist consult your healthcare practitioner.
Vitamin supplements should not replace a balanced diet.
Folate is considered safe during pregnancy.
Known Side Effects
In doses typically administered for therapeutic purposes, 5-MTHF is considered non-toxic. At doses over 10mg daily, gastrointestinal complaints, insomnia, irritability, and fatigue have been reported.
Whilst some concern exists that supplementation with high doses of folic acid could mask a vitamin B12 deficiency, supplementation with 5-MTHF appears to sidestep this potential problem. Since 5-MTHF can only be converted to 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (involved in DNA synthesis) after participating in homocysteine recycling with vitamin B12, 5-MTHF will not mask a B12 deficiency.
Medication Interactions
The activity of 5-MTHF may affect, or be affected by, the presence of certain medications, including anticonvulsant and anti-inflammatory medications. Qualified consultation is advised when using these concomitantly.
