Folate, homocysteine, and cardiovascular health

Folate helps maintain healthy levels of homocysteine already within normal limits. By helping to inhibit excess homocysteine, folate supports healthy levels of this important biomarker for cardiovascular health.

5-MTHF, homocysteine and cognitive health

Because people with elevated homocysteine levels have a higher risk of cognitive decline, taking enough folate is especially crucial for aging individuals trying to maintain cognitive health.

Take alone or with B12 for enhanced effect
