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

Calcium L-methylfolate (L-5-MTHF-Ca; CAS Number 151533-22-1) is a source of folate and an alternative to folic acid for use in human food and food supplements.

In 2007, Jinkang Pharma's R&D team has gradually abandoned other projects and focused 99% efforts on the study of “How to make L-methylfolate be stable?”...

Actually, the biggest technical barrier for methylfolate is how to make it stable. Only making it into crystalline structure, thus methylfolate could completely solve the problem of poor stability. Otherwise, methylfolate with amorphous type would degrade in a very fast speed. Such degrading means ......
