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.

General Description

5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF) is an active folate metabolite.
