Depression is a complex interplay of neurotransmitter activity, genetic predispositions, and elusive biochemical pathways.
The unseen battle – low 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF) and depression.
When the delicate balance of these neurotransmitters is disturbed, the clouds of despondency loom large, shrouding life in a perpetual haze of gloom.
Folate, specifically 5-MTHF, in the synthesis of crucial neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
But the famous Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) polymorphism is a common genetic trait that disrupts the conversion of folate to its active form, 5-MTHF.
This genetic occurence not only compromises the body’s ability to synthesize neurotransmitters but also impedes crucial methylation processes vital for DNA repair, protein synthesis, and cellular rejuvenation.
The Ingredients:
- Quatrefolic: Quatrefolic bypasses enzymatic conversions, allowing 7 times the bioavailability of folic acid, and penetrating cellular membranes to deliver its payload of biologically active 5-MTHF directly to the neurons. It has showcased a capacity to elevate total plasma folate concentrations, particularly in individuals with MTHFR polymorphism.
- L-Arginine: for cognitive vitality – this potent amino acid has been included for its role in promoting nitric oxide synthesis and neurotransmitter function.
- Dicalcium Phosphate Dihydrate: A cornerstone of bone health, this vital mineral complex is needed for cellular rejuvenation and structural integrity.
- Microcrystalline Cellulose: Harnessing plant cellulose, this natural fiber serves against oxidative stress and cellular aging, and ensuring optimal nutrient absorption.
