Folate can appear on a supplement label in different forms. Vipcost Iron Capsules use Magnafolate® levomefolic acid, with the label stating both the source amount and its 5-MTHF equivalent.
What the Vipcost Label Says
Each one-capsule serving contains 0.24 mg Magnafolate® levomefolic acid, equivalent to 200 mcg 5-MTHF. These figures describe the same labelled ingredient relationship, so they should not be added together.
Why Form Names Matter
A precise label identifies both the nutrient and its form. “5-MTHF” is the abbreviation used on this product for the equivalent folate form, while “levomefolic acid” is the source name shown in the ingredient statement.
The Rest of the One-Capsule Serving
- Iron: 15 mg, from 75 mg ferrous glycinate
- Vitamin B12: 1 mcg
- Vitamin C: 50 mg
- Fructooligosaccharide: 50 mg
- Casein phosphopeptides: 30 mg
There are 60 servings per container. Other ingredients are encapsulating aids and colouring, and the product contains milk.
