At the molecular level, the main function of folate is to donate methyl groups in key biochemical reactions occurring in blood cells, neurons, the vasculature and many other tissues.6, 7 In addition, folate promotes the production of healthy DNA.8 Research suggests that B vitamins help maintain healthy nervous system function. In a randomized controlled study, a combination of methylfolate, methycobalamin and pyridoxal-5-phosphate promoted healthy epidermal nerve fiber density and nerve comfort.9 Methyltetrahydrofolate and methylcobalamin may also support psychological health, including positive mood.10, 11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences:\u003cbr\u003e1.
