A Folic Acid Supplement for Cardiovascular Health and Support.
•Folic Acid (5 mg)
For many seeking high doses of folic acid, a folic acid supplement containing 5 mg has been previously available only through prescription, even though Folic Acid 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.
The Importance of a High Quality Folic Acid Supplement
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.
Folic Acid has also been studied on its ability to lower one's risk of developing colon cancer.
