Introduction: This product is the calcium salt of l-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. It belongs to folic acid vitamins (vitamin B9, folic acid). It is a coenzyme form of folic acid. Calcium l-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is a naturally occurring salt forming methyl derivative of folic acid. 5-MTHF is also known as l-methylfolic acid. It is the most bioactive and functional form of folic acid and is easier to absorb than ordinary folic acid.

Function: lack of folic acid will reduce the ability of cells to synthesize and repair DNA. Folic acid supplementation may be a more favorable method to increase folic acid, reduce homocysteine level, and support normal cell proliferation and vascular endothelial function Cardiovascular disease, neurological function, especially 5-MTHF supplementation during pregnancy, have been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube malformations and recurrence.
