- Folate as 5-MTHF; B12 as methylcobalamin
Folate as 5-MTHF instead of folic acid, B12 as methylcobalamin — that pair is why this is the bottle we hand to most men, and the fact that it costs the least of any methylated formula here makes the decision easier still. It's a complete men's multivitamin rather than a B-complex with a multivitamin printed on it: vitamin D3, magnesium and a broad mineral run sit alongside the methylated Bs, and the formula leaves iron out entirely.
The capsules go down easy but they want food behind them. Our experience with concentrated B formulas is that they sit heavily when you swallow them on an empty stomach, and this one behaves the same way; with breakfast, it's been a non-event. We also appreciate that the label tells stomach-sensitive buyers to start with a single capsule rather than a full serving, which is more guidance than most supplement bottles bother to print.
What you trade for the price is polish. There's no CoQ10, no botanical blend, no choline — the money went into the B forms and the mineral run, which is the right trade if you want a base rather than a showpiece. The bottle holds 60 capsules, on the small side against the 120s and 150s here, so budget for a reorder sooner than you might expect.
Pros
- Folate as 5-MTHF, B12 as methylcobalamin
- Iron-free men's formula with D3 and magnesium
- Lowest price of the methylated picks here
Cons
- Capsules leave a lingering taste
This is the one we recommend to most men: methylated folate and B12 in a full, iron-free men's formula, at the lowest price in this group.
