Deplin® vs. Folic Acid
Folic acid is a man-made product that needs to be broken down by the body through a lengthy 4-step process. Folate that comes from your diet (e.g green vegetables) needs to undergo a 3-step transformation.
Deplin® is able to be used immediately upon absorption.10
Over one half of the general population is compromised in its ability to break down folic acid into L-methylfolate (MTHFR C->T polymorphs) and is even higher in people who suffer from depression.12, 13
Deplin® is unaffected by this common impairment in the body's ability to break down folic acid.
One Deplin® 7.5mg tablet is bioequivalent to taking sixty-six 800 mcg folic acid pills.14
Deplin® (7.5mg or 15mg L-methylfolate) is a prescription medical food for the dietary management of suboptimal folate levels in depressed patients.
