Nourish Your Pregnancy Journey with Innolife Solution Methyl Folate (Metafolin®)
A highly bioavailable form of folate for mothers and healthy Baby
What is Methyl Folate (Metafolin®)?
Methyl Folate is the active form of folate, readily available for human body to use, especially during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects (NTD) in the fetus
Methylfolate for Maternal Nutrition
Methylfolate increases blood folate levels to a greater extent than folic acid. Metafolin® is better than folic acid because methyl folate can be readily used by the body. Folic acid is absorbed by gut and passes into portal vein uniformly, leaving behind unmetabolized folic acid (UMFA). UMFA accelerated cognitive decline, reduce natural killers of toxicity, reduction of immune system to kill off malignant or premalignant cells.
Up to 75% of Asia population has mutation in MTHFR, a gene which control the enzyme in converting folic acid to Methyl Folate, causing unmetobolized folic acid to be found in the body
Metafolin overcomes this gene mutation by making methyl folate readily available.

Defect (NTD)
Birth (PTB)
Folate needs increase during pregnancy and lactation and deficiency can result in:
The neural tube, a crucial structure that develops into the brain and spinal cord, completes its closure around the 21st day after conception. However, due to the prevalence of unplanned pregnancies, many women may not be consuming adequate amounts of folate during this critical period. This deficiency significantly raises the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs). Methylfolate, a more bioavailable form of folate, is absorbed and utilized by the body more efficiently than folic acid and withouth expose to unmetabolized folic acid. It can rapidly increase folate levels in the blood, potentially reducing the risk of NTDs. (Obeid, Nutrients, 2020 doi: 10.3390/nu12123623)
Several studies have shown that too much folic acid increases risk for cognitive development in children.
1. Use of folic acid exceeding the upper limit (>=1000 mcg/d) during the periconception period was associated with lower levels of cognitive development in children aged 4-5 year (Desiree, Am J Clin Sutr, 2017 doi: 10.3945/ajcn.117.152769)
2. Too much folic acid increases risk for reduction in psychomotor development in children. High dosages of folic acid supplementation (>=5000 mcg/d) were associated with a substantial reduction in psychomotor development in children at 1 year of age. (Desiree, JAMA Pediatr. 2014 Nov)
3. Too much folic acid increases risk of AUTISM spectrum disorder, with 566 children participated, 92 autism cases were found. American women consume folic acid >800mcg/d, leading to high UMFA (>50nmol/L) in maternal plasma and infant cord blood. High UMFA in cord blood is assocated with increased risk of autsim spectrum disorder. (Raghavan, Am J Clin Nutr 2020 Nov)
4. Higher insulin resistance in children born to mothers with higher gestational folate levels. (Krishnaverni, Diabetologia 2014 Jan)
Unlock Your Health's Potential with Methylfolate
Experience the Power of Bioactive Folate
Clinical studies prove Methylfolate (Metafolin®) enhances vital organ function, promoting healthy aging from the inside out. Unlike regular folic acid, Methylfolate is a bioactive form of folate your body can use immediately, maximizing its benefits.
Key Benefits:
- Anti-Aging: Supports efficient cell function through optimal DNA methylation and gene expression.
- Brain Health: May help prevent dementia and Alzheimer's, and reduce stroke risk.
- Heart Health: Contributes to reducing heart disease and diabetes risk.
- Maternal & Infant Health: Crucial for preventing neural tube defects (NTDs) and reducing diabetes risk during pregnancy.
- Mood & Stress: Helps maintain balanced neurotransmitters (Dopamine and Adrenaline) for a more positive mood and reduced anxiety and stress.
The Methylfolate Advantage:
Methylfolate acts as a vital messenger, delivering methyl molecules to your DNA. This precise control over gene activation and deactivation ensures optimal cell function.
Because your body doesn't need to convert Methylfolate, it's significantly more effective than regular folic acid, especially considering that many people (especially 40% of Asians) have MTHFR gene variations that limit their ability to process folic acid efficiently.
Excess folic acid that your body can't process can lead to Unmetabolized Folic Acid (UMFA), which can negatively impact immune function and nervous system health.
Specifically for Expectant and Nursing Mothers:
Prioritize your health and your baby's development with our specially formulated Methylfolate supplement. This essential nutrient is crucial throughout preconception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, periods when nutritional needs dramatically increase. Our formula is designed to meet these unique needs, supporting both mother and baby every step of the way.
Benefits at Each Stage:
- Preconception: Provides vital nutrients from the moment of conception.
- First Trimester: Supports healthy brain and spinal cord development with bioactive 5-MTHF.
- Third Trimester: Provides essential nutrients for continued fetal development and prepares mother and baby for childbirth.
- Postpartum & Breastfeeding: Supports increased dietary needs and reduces the risk of postpartum blues.
Recommended Daily Dosage (WHO Guidelines):
- Breastfeeding Mothers: 600 mcg/day (Supports baby's development and reduces postpartum blues)
- Pregnant Women: 500 mcg/day (Supports baby's development and prevents NTDs)
- Adults (14+): 400 mcg/day (For optimal DNA and cell function)
- Children (9-13): 300 mcg DFE
- Children (4-8): 200 mcg DFE
- Children (1-3): 150 mcg DFE
Directions for Use: Take 1 tablet daily (200 mcg) or as directed by your healthcare professional.
