Vimergys 5-MTHF is a dietary supplement with an active form of folic acid. The folate comes from the glucosamine salt of (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, which is a patented form of highly bioavailable methylfolate.
Methylfolate
5-MTHF is the most biologically active form of the B-vitamin folic acid, i.e., methylfolate.
5-MTHF works together with vitamin B12 in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Folate thus contributes to the normal metabolism of homocysteine.
Folate contributes to
- tissue growth during pregnancy
- normal amino acid synthesis
- normal blood formation
- normal homocysteine metabolism
- normal psychological function
- the normal function of the immune system
- reducing tiredness and fatigue

What is DFE?
DFE stands for Dietary Folate Equivalents. DFE is a new way to measure folate metabolism that is now required by the FDA in the USA on all supplement labels. The amount of 5-MTHF in the product is still 5 mg. 8,333 mcg DFE is required to produce 5,000 mcg\* (5 mg) 5-MTHF.
