(Vitamin B9), also known as folate, is a crucial nutrient that plays a vital role in various bodily functions. It is particularly important for the formation of red blood cells and maintaining healthy cell growth and development. This water-soluble vitamin is especially crucial during the early stages of pregnancy, as it helps to significantly reduce the risk of serious birth defects affecting the brain and spine, such as spina bifida and anencephaly.

Folate, the natural form of vitamin B9, supports a healthy cardiovascular system by lowering the levels of an amino acid called homocysteine. Elevated homocysteine levels can contribute to the formation of blood clots and cause the arteries to narrow and harden, increasing the risk of heart disease. By regulating homocysteine, folate helps to prevent these harmful cardiovascular events and promote overall heart health.

In addition to its benefits for physical health, adequate folate levels have also been linked to optimal cognitive function. Low levels of folate, alongside a deficiency in vitamin B12, have been associated with cognitive decline and an increased risk of dementia in older adults. Recognizing this crucial link, the experts at Nature's Field have formulated their Folite supplement to include not only the recommended daily intake of folate, but also therapeutic doses of vitamin B6 (5mg) and vitamin B12 (6mcg). This unique blend is designed to effectively support cognitive function and memory in individuals experiencing age-related cognitive impairment.
