Chemical structure of calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate

Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF-Ca) is an important bioactive molecule that has a variety of physiological functions in the human body, including involvement in protein synthesis, DNA repair, and neurotransmitter synthesis.

The chemical structure of L-5-MTHF-Ca is as follows:

As can be seen, L-5-MTHF-Ca consists of three main components: methylated tetrahydrofolate, the levorotatory isomer and the calcium ion. Methylated tetrahydrofolate is a vitamin B9 derivative consisting of p-aminobenzoic acid with a methyl group and glutaric acid, which can be reduced to tetrahydrofolate in the body and thus participate in cellular metabolic processes. The levorotatory isomer is a molecule whose stereo-configuration is levorotatory in nature and is structurally different from the dextorotatory isomer, but they have exactly the same chemical formula. Calcium ion is an important inorganic ion which has a variety of physiological functions in the body, such as maintaining bone health and neuromuscular transmission.

The structure of L-5-MTHF-Ca gives it good bioavailability and bioactivity, enabling it to participate effectively in metabolic processes in the body and to have preventive and therapeutic effects on a wide range of diseases. As a result, it has been widely used in pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals.

Magnafolate is the unique patent protected C crystalline L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium salt (L-5-MTHF Ca) which can get the purest and most stable bio-active folate.

Magnafolate can be absorbed directly, no metabolism, suitable for all kinds of people including MTHFR gene mutation.
