Calcium L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate description:
Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is the calcium salt of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, which is the predominant, naturally occurring form of folate. It is synthesized by reduction of folic acid
to tetrahydrofolic acid followed by methylation and diastereoselective crystallization (in water) of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid as its calcium salt. The product contains variable amounts of
water of crystallization.
Calcium L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Application:
Commercial use of Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate in pharmaceutical products began in Europe in the early part of this decade. This approach to folate supplementation has potential to impact
prenatal care, homocysteine management, and the treatment of depression, dementia and cardiovascular concerns.
