Proper Nutrition and Successful Aging

Due to physiological declines in food intake, nutritional deficiencies often occur among older adults. These deficiencies can be a major risk factor for chronic diseases and age-related health deterioration. Adopting nutritional interventions, such as folate supplementation, can be crucial to counter the current prevalence of nutritional deficiencies and promote a healthier lifestyle.

Quatrefolic^®, the biologically active folate, can help preserve the health and well-being of the elderly and highlights the potential benefits of vitamin B9 in this life stage.

What are the benefits of active folate in the elderly?

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a significant risk factor for several age-related diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, that can negatively impact the healthy life expectancy of older adults.

Additionally, the incidence of hyperhomocysteinemia is significant among the elderly population, and the concentration of folate in the cerebrospinal fluid decreases with age.

Fortunately, 5-MTHF, such as Quatrefolic^®, has been shown to support brain function and reduce and normalize homocysteine levels. This provides a potential solution to this health concern and can help maintain adequate plasma folate levels and promote healthy ageing.
