What is Denovo?
Folate is a type of B vitamin that is found naturally in a variety of foods. Folic acid is a man-made version of folate that is added to food items or supplements to increase mineral and vitamin intake. Folate is required by the human body to aid in the production of red blood cells.
A deficiency in folate within the human body could be caused by certain illnesses, medications, or simply insufficient folate in your diet. Folate deficiency may cause reduced red blood cells as well as anemia. Folate deficiency can also cause high levels of a certain amino acid in the blood, a condition called hyperhomocysteinemia (HYE-per-HOE-moe-sis-tin-EE-mee-a).
Denovo can be described as an agro-nutrient that can be used in patients suffering from ailments that are related to folate deficiency.
