As people age, physiological changes can cause declines in food intake, leading to potential nutritional deficiencies.
These deficiencies can increase the risk of ageing-related health decline and chronic diseases.
External supplementation of the naturally occurring 5-MTHF, like Quatrefolic® has important advantages over synthetic folic acid - it is well absorbed, and its bioavailability is unaffected by metabolic defects.
Symptoms of deficiency can be hematological, neurological, or neuropsychiatric, but, likely, there are also cardiovascular manifestations.
The incidence of hyperhomocysteinemia in the elderly population is particularly significant
Quatrefolic® has shown promise in lowering homocysteine levels, potentially mitigating these risks and promoting better health in older individuals.
In addition, active folate supplementation is one such strategy that can help prevent nutritional deficiencies, particularly among older individuals. By prioritizing folate intake, individuals can promote optimal health and prevent age-related health decline.
