• Description: 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid disodium salt is a form of vitamin B9 that is produced by the body from 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate. It also can be obtained through the diet in foods such as milk, eggs, and leafy vegetables. This vitamin is necessary for many cellular processes, including amino acid metabolism. 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid disodium salt has been shown to have a significant effect on neuron cell growth and health. It has been shown to stimulate the enzyme activities of catecholamine-O-methyltransferase and dopamine beta hydroxylase in vitro. The effects were seen with both acidic and neutral pHs. 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid disodium salt has been found to be a selective inhibitor of receptor α (rho) uptake in Caco-2 cells at acidic pHs but not at neutral pHs.
