Quatrefolic 5-MTHF – Pure, Advanced Folate Formula | 120 Caps
Quatrefolic 5-MTHF is Strom’s bioavailable folate supplement, built to skip the conversion step that ordinary folic acid requires before your cells can use it.
Where folic acid has to pass through several enzymatic steps to become useful, this form arrives already active, ready for the body to use directly.
Why the MTHFR Gene Matters
The enzyme responsible for converting folic acid into usable folate is called MTHFR, and around 40% of people worldwide carry a genetic variant that reduces how well this enzyme works.
For anyone with this common variation, standard folic acid supplements can end up doing far less than the label suggests, since the conversion bottleneck limits how much active folate actually reaches the bloodstream.
This ingredient bypasses that bottleneck entirely, which is exactly why it’s become the preferred choice for people who know, or suspect, they carry the MTHFR variant.
Twice the Bioavailability
Clinical research comparing Quatrefolic 5-MTHF with standard folic acid found it produced a higher peak plasma concentration and greater overall absorption, roughly twice as bioavailable.
That difference matters in practice: bioavailable folate means more of what’s on the label actually ends up doing something in your body, rather than being lost to an inefficient conversion process.
Folate contributes to normal blood formation and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, so getting a form your body can actually use matters more than the number printed on the tub.
Methylated Folate You Can Rely On
It’s classed as methylated folate, meaning it’s already carrying the methyl group needed for the body’s folate-dependent processes.
Standard folic acid has to pick up that methyl group during conversion; methylated folate skips the step, which is the entire point of choosing a fourth-generation ingredient over a basic one.
Every capsule is manufactured to the same transparent standard as the rest of the Strom range, with a single active ingredient and nothing hidden behind a blend.
Who It Suits
Quatrefolic 5-MTHF is worth considering for anyone who has struggled to feel a difference from standard folic acid, particularly those with a known or suspected MTHFR variation.
It also pairs naturally with Strom Sports Vitamin C as part of a simple daily foundation of well-absorbed, essential nutrients.
How to Use This Product
Take one capsule of this bioavailable folate daily with food, or exactly as advised by a healthcare professional.
Because methylated folate is water-soluble, consistency matters more than exact timing — the same time each and every day is an easy habit worth building.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes methylated folate different from folic acid? It’s already in the active form your body uses, skipping the conversion process folic acid requires.
Do I need to know my MTHFR status to benefit from bioavailable folate? No — it’s useful for almost anyone, though it matters most for the roughly 40% of people with a reduced-function MTHFR variant.
How many capsules are in a tub? This comes in a 120-capsule pack, providing a four-month supply at one capsule daily.
Food supplements should not replace a varied, balanced diet. Not intended for persons under 18 years of age. If pregnant or breastfeeding, always seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional, as individual folate needs should be discussed with your doctor or midwife.
