Folvite DHA Soft Gelatin Capsule (L-Methyl Folate + Methylcobalamin + Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate + DHA) | Nutritional Supplement
Folvite DHA Soft Gelatin Capsule contains L-methyl folate calcium, methylcobalamin, pyridoxal-5-phosphate, and DHA. It is a nutritional supplement that provides folate, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and the omega-3 fatty acid DHA to support normal blood formation, nervous system function, and nutritional requirements.
Product Overview
Folvite DHA Soft Gelatin Capsule is a combination nutritional supplement containing L-methyl folate calcium, methylcobalamin, pyridoxal-5-phosphate (active vitamin B6), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These nutrients have different but complementary roles in normal metabolism, blood-cell formation, nervous system function, and overall nutritional health.
L-methyl folate calcium provides an active form of folate. Folate is important for DNA synthesis and normal red blood cell formation and has an important role in periods when folate requirements are increased, including pregnancy. Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that contributes to normal nerve function and red blood cell formation. Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is the active coenzyme form of vitamin B6 and participates in several metabolic processes. DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that is an important structural component of cell membranes, particularly in the brain and eyes.
The combination is generally used as a nutritional supplement when additional folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and DHA are required. Product information also describes Folvite DHA as a supplement used to help meet nutritional requirements, including during pregnancy when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

How the Ingredients Work
L-Methyl Folate Calcium:
L-methylfolate is a biologically active form of folate involved in folate-dependent metabolic pathways, including processes important for DNA synthesis and normal red blood cell formation.
Methylcobalamin:
Methylcobalamin is a form of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell production, neurological function, and cellular metabolism.
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate:
Pyridoxal-5-phosphate is the active coenzyme form of vitamin B6. It participates in amino-acid metabolism and other biochemical reactions required for normal body functions.
Precaution
Follow Professional Advice
Use Folvite DHA according to the recommended dose and duration. Do not take more than advised simply because the ingredients are vitamins or nutritional substances.
Check for Existing Supplements
Inform your healthcare professional about other multivitamins, prenatal vitamins, B-complex products, folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, or DHA/omega-3 supplements you are taking. This helps prevent unnecessary duplication.
Vitamin B12 Deficiency
If vitamin B12 deficiency or anemia is suspected, appropriate medical evaluation should be performed. Folate supplementation should not be used as a substitute for identifying and treating an underlying vitamin B12 deficiency.
Kidney or Liver Problems
Tell your healthcare professional if you have kidney or liver disease. Your overall nutritional supplementation may need to be assessed according to your medical condition.
Allergies
Do not use the product if you have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of its ingredients or excipients.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Folvite DHA may be used during pregnancy when recommended by a healthcare professional. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding so that your nutritional requirements can be appropriately assessed.
Usage
Take Folvite DHA Soft Gelatin Capsule exactly as directed by your healthcare professional.
Swallow the softgel capsule whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break the capsule. Product information indicates that it may generally be taken with or without food, unless your healthcare professional provides different instructions.
The recommended amount and duration depend on your nutritional requirements, medical condition, pregnancy status, and other supplements being taken.
Do not take additional folic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, or DHA supplements without checking whether they are appropriate to use together.
If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not take an extra dose to make up for a missed one.
