Folic Acid 5 mg, 120
Folic Acid (5 mg)
For many seeking high doses of Folic Acid,
a Folic supplement containing 5 mg has been previously available only
through prescription, even though Folic has never been a “pharmacy-only” ingredient.
A required component for the conversion of Homocysteine to methionine, Folic
Acid supplementation reduces Homocysteine levels as demonstrated
in many clinical studies. Regardless of initial Homocysteine levels,
increased folic acid supplementation (up to 800 mcg) has been shown in
research to enhance an increased Homocysteine lowering effect. Those
with higher initial Homocysteine levels had greater lowering effects
with Folic Acid. Low levels of daily Folic Acid intake
have been associated with high serum Homocysteine levels, especially
in the elderly. Current research is showing that aggressive homocysteine
management is more beneficial than previously thought.
