L-Methylfolate 5 mg
Metabolic Maintenance's L-Methylfolate 5 mg is an 'Other Combinations' supplement, providing 8.3mg DFE of Folate (2075% DV) and 265mg of Glycine per capsule. Our analysis indicates that the Glycine component is present at a clinical dose, which may support various metabolic functions. However, the Folate dosage, while high, is not specifically noted as a clinical dose for its intended purpose in this combination, and is considered underdosed in terms of its specific L-Methylfolate form for some clinical applications. This product received an N+ Score of 46, earning an 'F' grade, placing it in the below-average tier. The score reflects a formula completeness of 0 and an ingredient adequacy of 50%, with only one of the two ingredients reaching a clinical dose. With 100% label transparency, this supplement may be suitable for individuals specifically looking for a combination of L-Methylfolate and clinically dosed Glycine.
