Menthiafolin is a derivative of folic acid, commonly used in pharmaceutical and nutritional applications to support brain health and cognitive function. It acts as a bioactive form of folate, providing essential nutrients for cellular processes, particularly in the central nervous system. Menthiafolin works by enhancing the activity of enzymes involved in folate metabolism, promoting the synthesis of neurotransmitters and reducing the risk of neurological deficiencies. It is often used to improve mood, memory, and overall brain function, especially in individuals with folate-related deficiencies.
