About





            

                
Folate is a critical cofactor in the homocysteine-methionine cycle, supporting SAM production essential for neurotransmitter synthesis and DNA methylation. Combined with B12, folate supplementation slowed brain atrophy rate in MCI patients.

            

        

        

        
        
        

            

  
How It Works





            

                
Critical cofactor in the homocysteine-methionine cycle; supports SAM production essential for neurotransmitter synthesis and DNA methylation; deficiency leads to elevated homocysteine associated with cerebral damage.
