L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium Ingredient Details

L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium is the active form of folate, also known as methyltetrahydrofolate. It is a bioavailable form and can be absorbed and utilised directly by the body.

Here are some more details about L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium:

Chemical structure: Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate has the chemical structure of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate in the form of a calcium salt with the molecular formula C20H25CaN7O6.

Mechanism of action: Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is metabolised in the body to L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), an important substance involved in single-carbon metabolism, which transfers methyl groups and acts as a coenzyme in many biochemical reactions. Its particularly important role is to provide methyl groups during cell division and DNA synthesis.

Bioactivity: Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is an active form of folate that is more readily absorbed and utilised by the body than conventional folic acid (folate). It is more bioavailable in the human body as it is in an already reduced form and does not need to undergo multiple additional enzymatic conversion steps.

Application areas: Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is often used in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements. It is widely used as a supplement for folic acid and vitamin B9 to support cell division, DNA synthesis, fetal development, cardiovascular health and nervous system function.

Dosage forms and uses: Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate can be used as a raw ingredient in the preparation of different dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, oral solutions and oral powders. It can be used as a single ingredient or combined with other vitamins, minerals and nutrients to make a combination product.

Magnafolate® is a patent-protected Crystalline L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium salt (L-5-MTHF-Ca), which was developed by JinKang Hexin in 2012.

The calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is safer, purer, more stable and suitable for a wide range of people including those with MTHFR gene mutations. Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate does not need to be metabolized in the body and can be absorbed directly.
