| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Description]
5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF) is an active folate metabolite. It plays an important role in the synthesis of methionine from homocysteine by donating methyl group. 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid-(glutamic acid-13C5) is an isotope of vitamin B9 wherein all the five glutamate carbons are replaced by 13C6 carbon. | [Supplements]
5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid is a biologically active form of folic acid. 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid is a methylated derivate of tetrahydrofolate. 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid is the predominant natural dietary folate and the principal form of folate in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. | [Mechanism of Action]
Prefolic A, also known as 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, is a biologically active form of folic acid that functions, in conjunction with vitamin B12, as a methyl-group donor involved in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Methyl folate is an active metabolite of folic acid. Vitamin supplement in health care products. | [Shipping & Storage Condition]
