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.
