Overview
Pure Encapsulations pairs vitamin B12 with folate in the Metafolin L-5-MTHF form, sold as 60 unflavored capsules aimed at nervous system and energy metabolism support. Formulated free of the eight major allergens listed on the label, including dairy, egg, gluten, peanut, shellfish, soy and wheat.
Metafolin is a specific, patented form of L-5-MTHF folate that some people prefer over folic acid because it skips a conversion step in the body, a distinction that matters more to some buyers than others depending on individual needs. Pairing B12 with this folate form targets the two nutrients most associated with nervous system and energy metabolism function.
- B12 plus Metafolin L-5-MTHF folate
- 60 capsules per bottle
- Free of 7 major allergens
- Targets nervous system and energy metabolism
Who it's for
Fits people looking for a B12 and folate combination specifically in the Metafolin form, particularly those avoiding common allergens across dairy, egg, gluten, peanut, shellfish, soy and wheat. Not the choice for someone who wants folic acid instead, or a broader B complex.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Uses Metafolin L-5-MTHF, a bioactive folate form
- Free of dairy, egg, gluten, peanut, shellfish, soy and wheat
- 60 count is about a two month supply at one a day
- Only two nutrients covered, not a full B complex
Performance notes
The capsule combines vitamin B12 with folate as Metafolin, a bioactive L-5-MTHF form, targeting nervous system function and energy metabolism as stated on the label. At 60 capsules, a one a day serving gives about two months of supply. Being unflavored and free of the eight listed allergens narrows the risk of common sensitivities affecting who can take it.
