5-methyltetrahydrofolate

5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) is the active and biologically functional form of folate, offering superior absorption and bioavailability compared to synthetic folic acid. With a molecular weight of 459.46 and CAS No. 537-42-8, 5-MTHF appears as a high-purity (>98%) white crystalline powder that is easily soluble in water. It plays a vital role in methylation, DNA synthesis, and homocysteine metabolism, supporting cardiovascular, neurological, and prenatal health.
Our 5-MTHF is produced under strict quality control and is suitable for use in pharmaceutical formulations, dietary supplements, and fortified foods. Available in 1 kg aluminum foil bags or 25 kg fiber drums, it meets industry standards for purity, stability, and safety. As a natural, bioactive folate source, 5-MTHF is ideal for formulations targeting folate deficiency, maternal nutrition, and overall metabolic wellness.
