(6S)-L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium

CAS number：151533-22-1 Molecular formula：C₂₀H₂₃CaN₇O₆

Molecular weight：497.53 EINECS number：691-636-3

L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate is highly sensitive to oxygen, making it difficult to use in food additives and active pharmaceutical ingredients with sufficient purity. On the other hand, L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate calcium, the calcium salt form of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, can be made into stable crystals. This calcium salt form increases the solubility of the product and enhances the bioavailability of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, making it easier for the body to absorb and utilize. Additionally, the calcium in the product can promote bone growth.
