What the research says
Backed by published nutritional research.†
Below is what published nutritional research says about the ingredients in this formula.
-
Methylated folate (L-5-MTHF) is the bioactive form of folate. †
A 2022 peer-reviewed review in Integrative Medicine confirmed that 5-MTHF supplementation bypasses the need for MTHFR conversion, making it a suitable folate source regardless of MTHFR genotype, and that studies suggest folate insufficiency due to MTHFR deficiency is addressed by 5-MTHF supplementation. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements recommends 400 mcg of folate daily for all women of reproductive age.†

From Amy, Founder + CEO
Pink Stork started because I couldn't find a supplement I trusted for my own pregnancy. Every formula since has been built with our OBGYN-led medical council, third-party tested, and made with the bioavailable forms, Methylated Folate, Chelated Iron, Algae DHA, my own kids deserve. We're still independent, still woman-owned, and still run by me. I take this every day.

Why Pink Stork
What we believe, and what we won't compromise on.
We've spent a decade saying no to the shortcuts the rest of the supplement industry says yes to. Here's the standard we hold ourselves to, in plain English.
-
Bioavailable forms, every single time.
Methylfolate over folic acid. Chelated Iron over ferrous sulfate. Methylcobalamin over cyanocobalamin. We pay more so your body can actually use what's on the label.
-
Real ingredients. Real names. Real forms.
Every ingredient is named on the panel, in its bioavailable form. No anonymous 'special blends' designed to hide what's actually in the bottle.
-
Third-party tested every batch.
Independent labs verify potency, label accuracy, heavy metals, and microbes, every lot, before it ships.
-
Expert-Panel Reviewed, doctor-reviewed.
Built and reviewed by our six-person, OBGYN-led medical advisory council. Real doctors with real practices and real patients, not paid spokespeople.
-
Independent and woman-owned.
Still independent. Not owned by Unilever or Nestlé. Not for sale. Accountable to the women who take our products, not to investors waiting on an exit.
-
Built on faith, family, and a better standard for moms.
Founded a decade ago by Amy, a mom who couldn't find supplements she trusted, and built them. She still owns Pink Stork. She still runs it. And she still takes them every single day.
Real women, real results
Over a million women. Still counting.

Questions we get a lot
Good questions. Real answers.
How many do I take per day?
The recommended dosage for Folate is 1 capsule daily.
Can I take this product with other medications or supplements?
Our Folate can be taken along with other Pink Stork supplements, as our products are designed to work together for full-body care. We recommend checking-in with your doctor when starting a new regimen to ensure all your health needs are being met.
If you're looking to take our Folate with another non-Pink Stork product, we recommend checking-in with your doctor to make sure our Folate is compatible with your current regimen or medications.
If you're looking to take our Folate with another non-Pink Stork product, we recommend checking-in with your doctor to make sure our Folate is compatible with your current regimen or medications.
Can I open + empty the capsule into a drink or food?
Absolutely! You can customize your intake method to suit your needs + tastes. Some women may add to a beverage like a smoothie, while others stir into yogurt, applesauce, or whatever they prefer!
Is this product pregnancy and breastfeeding friendly?
Yes! However, we always recommend speaking with your care provider when trying new products to ensure all your health needs are being met.
Is this product vegan friendly?
Yes, our Folate Supplement is vegan friendly!
Is this product gluten free?
Yes, our Folate Supplement is gluten free!
Why do you have folate as a separate vitamin, as it's already in your formulas?
We offer two different folate supplements separately from our other products as many women and men need extra folate in their system. We also have many men that use our Folate or Liquid Folate to achieve their folate needs! Some women also need additional folate that regular supplements and prenatals do not contain.
What type of Folate is used?
Our Folate supplement uses Folate as L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium Salt.
How is your Folate made? Is it fermented from beer or wine?
Our L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium Salt (Folate) is synthetically made and is not produced via fermentation.
Is this a prenatal vitamin or just folate?
This is not a one of our Prenatal options. Our Folate contains only folate, so we recommend supplementing with an additional prenatal vitamin. We currently offer 4 Prenatal Vitamins that you can purchase through Amazon or our website.
