Product description: 1. Chemical information Name: Calcium L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Other names: L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid, calcium salt L-Methyltetrahydrofolate, calcium salt L-Methylfolate, calcium L-5-MTHF-Ca CAS #151533-22-1 Molecular formula: C20H23CaN7O6 Molecular weight: 497.5 Structure: 2. Introduction Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is a naturally occurring salt-forming methyl derivative of folic acid. 5-MTHF is also known as L-methylfolate, which is the most biologically active and functional form of folic acid. It’s more easily absorbable than common folic acid. Common folic acid must be converted into L-type methylfolate to participate in two major metabolic pathways: methylation and DNA synthesis, normally 5-MTHF is the only form of free folic acid presenting in human plasma and cells. Lack of folic acid is usually caused by vitamin deficiency, which is insufficient for absorption. During pregnancy and breastfeeding period, the need for folic acid is increased during the growth of children. Under the influence of absorption or metabolic changes or drugs, the consumption of folic acid-rich foods cannot guarantee the dose needed, so it needs extra supply. |
