Product Description
Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate Powder is the active form of folate, a B-vitamin essential for various bodily functions. It plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and the metabolism of homocysteine.
Function
Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is the bioavailable and metabolically active form of folate. It bypasses the methylation step required by other forms of folate, making it readily utilized by the body. This form of folate helps support normal cell division, proper nerve function, and overall health.
Application
Nutritional Supplements: Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is used in dietary supplements to ensure adequate folate intake. It is particularly recommended for individuals with specific genetic variations that impair the utilization of other forms of folate.
Prenatal Care: Adequate folate intake is crucial during pregnancy to support fetal development and reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is used in prenatal multivitamins and supplements to meet the increased folate needs of expectant mothers.
Cardiovascular Health: Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate can help lower homocysteine levels, supporting heart health and reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications.
Mental Health: Adequate folate levels are important for healthy brain function and mood regulation. Calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate may be used as part of a comprehensive approach in the management of certain mental health conditions, such as depression.
