L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium

What Is L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium?

L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium is the calcium salt of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), the naturally occurring and biologically active form of vitamin B9 (folate). Unlike synthetic folic acid, which requires enzymatic conversion in the body, L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium is already in its bioactive form and can be directly absorbed and utilized by the body without further metabolic transformation. 

Benefits 

1. Fetal-Related Biological Pathway

Adequate folate participates in biological processes related to fetal growth.

2. Homocysteine Metabolism Pathway
It contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism as part of the methylation cycle.

3. Folate Metabolic Characteristic
As the biologically active form of folate, this ingredient requires no metabolic conversion and is available for biological utilization.

4. Nervous System Function
Folate participates in processes supporting the normal function of the nervous system.

5. Blood Cell Formation & Nucleic Acid Synthesis
Folate contributes to normal red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis.
