L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate

Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, also known as calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate or methyl THF, is a B vitamin component containing calcium ions. It is made up of three basic chemicals, namely methyl, tetrahydrofolate and calcium ions. This substance is an important coenzyme and is involved in many biochemical reactions, particularly the synthesis of DNA and RNA.

Calcium 6S-5-methyltetrahydrofolate

In the human body, the biological activity of calcium 6S-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is determined by its methylation status. This substance binds to methyltransferases via methylation reactions, thereby forming active methyl groups that facilitate the synthesis of DNA and RNA, as well as many other metabolic processes. In addition, the substance is involved in a number of physiological processes related to the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

Deficiency of calcium 6S-5-methyltetrahydrofolate can lead to a variety of health problems such as megaloblastic anaemia, neural tube defects and liver diseases. Therefore, methylesterase agents in the B vitamin family are an important nutrient that plays a vital role in human health.
