L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium, commonly known as L-5-MTHF calcium, is a bioactive form of folate, an essential B-vitamin. It plays a crucial role in various physiological processes within the human body. L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium is the calcium salt of L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF), which was studies best stable form. It is a naturally occurring, biologically active form of folate, which is the active form required for folate metabolism in the body. This compound is involved in numerous biochemical reactions and is particularly important for DNA synthesis, methylation reactions, and neurotransmitter synthesis.
L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate calcium serves as a coenzyme and a methyl donor in various metabolic processes. It is crucial for the conversion of homocysteine to methionine, which is vital for DNA synthesis and repair, as well as for the formation of neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
