What is active L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate?

L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, most easily abbreviated as 5-MTHF (sometimes L-5-MTHF), is a specific form of folate.

Folate, or vitamin B9, comes in many forms. 10-MTHF, dihydrofolate, tetrahydrofolate, and folic acid are all, in essence, the same thing. The label on a multivitamin will tell you what form of folate it contains.

Now, methylfolate has been widely used in improving depression.

Unlike folic acid, L-Methylfolate is the only form of folate that can cross the blood-brain barrier to help facilitate the synthesis of the neurotransmitters associated with mood regulation—serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. A deficiency in L-Methylfolate has been linked to depression. Also, taking a supplement containing 15mg methylfolate can help fight against depression, with the clinical study supported.
