Designs for Health L-5-MTHF

L-5-MTHF MAY BENEFIT:
• Pregnant women and women wishing to become pregnant who have familial history of depression,

higher levels of folate are needed.
• Those with very high homocysteine levels not responding quickly to Homocysteine Supreme™ (consider using them together)
• Organic acid testing (as included in the DFH metabolic profiles) that reveals elevated FIGLU (marker
used to identify folate deficiency)
• Long-term use of oral contraceptives
• Persistent use of the following medications known to lower folate levels:
- high doses of NSAIDSs (i.e., ibuprofen and aspirin)
- anticonvulsants: phenytoin, phenobarbital, and primidone
