Studies suggest the predominant role of folate deficiency in reducing neurotransmitter production and increasing homocysteine levels.
The latter are the main factors in the development of mood disorders and depression. Moreover, the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), cofactor of the synthesis of serotonin and dopamine, is suggested to be directly connected to folate level.
So active Folate, which crosses the blood-brain barrier, appears as the best solution to fight depressive mood and support depression treatment.
