Restore Youthful Immune Function

The diseases of aging such as cancer, pneumonia, and dementia are linked to a malfunctioning immune system.

This degenerative impairment is known as immune senescence. It accelerates aging by causing chronic inflammation while failing to protect against pathogens and malignancies.1-5

Not only do we lose the ability to defend against cancers and infections, but our failing immune cells create a state of hyper-inflammation that destroys neurons, the endothelium, and joints.6,7


Role of Folate in Healthy Human Brain Function

B vitamins are critical for the production of neurotransmitters in the brain.

Insufficiency is associated with cognitive decline.1-3

Folate has a number of mechanisms by which it can enhance cognitive performance. These include lowering inflammation and reducing homocysteine.1,4

Elevated homocysteine and chronic inflammation are linked to degenerative brain disorders.

Perhaps the most far-reaching implication of folate in the brain is its ability to modify gene expression.1

This means that folate plays a role in turning a gene “on” or “off.”
