One significant concern related to folate deficiency is cognitive impairment, a growing concern due to the exponential increase in the aging population.
This cognitive decline can be influenced by various factors, including environmental factors like diet and genetic factors such as polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) enzyme that impair the body’s folate conversion.
Clinical research has shown that daily folate supplementation can help improve cognitive performance, including memory and information-processing abilities.
Not all folates are the same.
Notably, folic acid, the synthetic form of folate, is not biologically active and requires metabolic conversion to be absorbed.
This can pose a challenge, especially for individuals with MTHFR enzyme polymorphisms, as they may have difficulty assimilating folic acid effectively.
This is where Quatrefolic®, the reduced and active form of folate, can be particularly beneficial. Quatrefolic® is recommended for those with MTHFR enzyme polymorphisms, as it provides a “finished” folate that the body can immediately utilize without needing metabolic transformation.
By maximizing folate supplementation through the active, readily available Quatrefolic® form, individuals can better address the health concerns associated with vitamin B9 deficiency, including cognitive impairment, across all stages of life.
