Metafolin® is a brand name for a patented form of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) made by Merck. Almost 45 percent of the U.S. population has a mutation in one of the enzymes involved in folic acid metabolism. 5-MTHF circumvents this mutation and allows the body to get the supplement’s benefits.

The FDA changed nutrition (food) and supplement facts panels to make it easier to understand, and the International Unit (IU) measure is going away. 134 mg of vitamin E d-alpha-tocopheryl is equal to 200 mg. To convert from IU of vitamin E to mcg of vitamin E, multiply by 0.67.
