FAQs

How many capsules make a daily serving?
Adults take 2 capsules twice daily with meals, so a full daily serving is 4 capsules. The 180-capsule bottle therefore covers 45 days at the recommended dose.

Why does it use Metafolin rather than folic acid?
Metafolin provides (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, the naturally occurring and universally metabolized form of folate. Each daily serving supplies 533 mcg, alongside activated vitamins and superior mineral forms chosen for absorption.
