Usage

Description

GlucosaMine L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, also known as (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine salt, is a chemically synthesized compound derived from folic acid and glucosamine hydrochloride. It is intended to serve as an alternative source of folate in food supplements and is marketed under the trade name "Quatrefolic." This novel ingredient is synthesized with a final purity of ≥97.5% and may contain up to 2.5% impurities, primarily folate-related substances resulting from the breakdown or oxidation of methyl-tetrahydrofolic acid. The glucosamine hydrochloride used in its manufacturing is sourced from a non-shellfish source, ensuring a history of safe consumption as a food supplement.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
GlucosaMine L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate is used as an organic synthesis intermediate and pharmaceutical intermediate for the development of novel drugs and therapies.
