Methyltetrahydrofolate is the active form of folate, a B-vitamin that is crucial for various bodily functions, including DNA synthesis, repair, and methylation. Folate, in its inactive forms (such as folic acid), requires conversion in the body to become usable. MTHF directly participates in the methylation of homocysteine to methionine, an essential amino acid that contributes to protein synthesis and various metabolic processes.
In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on sustainability within the manufacturing industry. Plastic additive manufacturing aligns well with this objective, primarily due to its ability to reduce material waste. Traditional manufacturing processes often involve cutting away excess material, which can amount to significant waste. In contrast, additive manufacturing uses only the material needed to create the final product, thus minimizing waste.
