Nutrisorb Methyl FolGuard
BioCare
Overview
BioCare Nutrisorb Methyl FolGuard is a highly effective supplement for addressing folate and B12 deficiencies, particularly due to its use of active, bioavailable forms. The dose of folate is optimal for daily maintenance and prevention, while the B12 dose is exceptionally high, making it potent for correcting severe deficiencies but possibly excessive for general maintenance. The liquid format enhances absorption and provides flexible dosing.
The Good
Highly Bioavailable Forms: Contains active forms (Quatrefolic® folate and Methylcobalamin B12) that are readily utilized by the body, bypassing genetic polymorphisms (e.g., MTHFR) that impair conversion of synthetic folic acid.
Optimal Folate Dosing: Provides a clinically relevant dose of 400mcg of folate, effectively supporting daily needs and preventing deficiencies.
Liquid Delivery System: Allows for flexible and precise dosing, and may be easier to consume for individuals who have difficulty swallowing pills, potentially enhancing absorption.
The Bad
Very High Dose of Vitamin B12: 16000% DV is significantly higher than physiological needs and research-backed effective doses for general use; while water-soluble, such high doses are unnecessary and could potentially mask B12 deficiency symptoms if folate levels are not also monitored.
Potential for High Humocysteine Levels: While this product contains folate and B12 (which both decrease homocysteine levels), there is still a concern with those who have a MTHFR variant due to the extremely high B12 levels.
Cost (Implicit): High potency, specialized forms often come at a premium price.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking methylation support, those with genetic variations affecting folic acid conversion, general energy and mental health support.
Skip If: Pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication without consulting a healthcare provider.
