The Active Folate in DEPLIN® is Different From Folic Acid

Supplemental folic acid needs to be activated by your body before it can be used. Unfortunately, up to 70% of people with depression may have a compromised ability to complete this activation.1

DEPLIN® provides you with already-active folate so your body does not have to activate it for you to see a benefit. DEPLIN® addresses the body’s nutritional requirements and creates an environment that allows you to get the most out of your antidepressant therapy.2

DEPLIN® helps your brain and antidepressant work better together.2

The active folate in DEPLIN® may help boost the production of natural chemicals in the brain that may affect mood.

In a healthy brain, mood is controlled by the presence of natural chemicals called neurotransmitters. In people with depression, the brain may not make enough neurotransmitters. This may be due to low levels of active folate in the brain. An antidepressant can ease depression symptoms by preventing the reabsorption of neurotransmitters, increasing the availability of neurotransmitters in the brain. The active folate in DEPLIN® helps boost the body’s ability to produce neurotransmitters so you can get the most from your antidepressant therapy.
