What is 5-MTHF?
5-MTHF is the abbreviation for 5-methyltetrahydrofolateand is also known as methlyfolate. 5-MTHF is the predominant natural form of vitamin B9, also known as folic acid . The advantage of 5-MTHF over folic acid is that 5-MTHF is already biologically active . It does not have to be metabolized by the body first, but the body can make direct use of its effect[1,2].
Taking 5-MTHF is therefore particularly interesting if intestinal or liver function is impaired or the body is genetically unable to transport and metabolize folic acid[3].
What effect does 5-MTHF have?
While folic acid has to be converted into methlyfolate through a multi-stage process, you can benefit directly from the effect of folic acid, i.e. vitamin B9, when taking 5-MTHF:
- Folate contributes to normal amino acid synthesis
- Folate contributes to normal blood formation
- Folate contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism
- Folate contributes to normal psychological function
- Folate contributes to the normal function of the immune system
- Folate contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
- Folate has a role in the process of cell division
As folate plays a key role in the production of genetic material , vitamin B9 is particularly important during pregnancy:
- Folate contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy
