L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium, also known as 5-MTHF Calcium, is the active form of folate (vitamin B9). It does not need metabolic conversion in the human body and is easier to absorb. Widely used in dietary supplements, functional food and nutritional fortification.
Main specification: 99% purity, active folate content 80%, 85%. Customized specifications are available upon request.
Regular folic acid is an inactive synthetic form, which must be converted into 5-MTHF by enzymes in the body. L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate Calcium is biologically active and can be directly utilized. It is a better choice for customers who cannot convert folic acid efficiently.
Small trial order is acceptable. Standard packing: 1kg/aluminum foil bag, 25kg/drum. Custom packaging is supported.
Orders are shipped via EMS, DHL, UPS, FedEx, air freight, or sea freight. Express and air shipments generally take 3-7 days (door-to-door or airport delivery), while sea freight takes 10-35 days (door-to-port).
