What is L Methylfolate?

L-methylfolate or levomefolic acid is the biologically active form of folate. It circulates through the blood, and it even can cross the blood-brain barrier. For instance, it is important in DNA replication, cysteine cycle, and the regulation of homocysteine. Here, the cell uses l-methylfolate in the methylation of homocysteine to form methionine and tetrahydrofolate (THF). Furthermore, THF serves as the immediate acceptor for the synthesis of thymidine-DNA, purines (RNA and DNA) and methionine.

Moreover, the absorptive cells of the small intestine produce L-methylfolate from the polyglutamylated dietary folate, which is the methylated derivative of tetrahydrofolate. Also, it is water-soluble and is excreted through kidneys.
