Product Information


How can DEPLIN

® help me?

DEPLIN® can provide the body with already-active folate that is ready to help promote the production of natural chemicals in the brain that affect mood and help you get the most out of your antidepressant therapy.

Is DEPLIN

® safe? What are the side effects?

Yes, DEPLIN® is generally safe and does not have the side effects of traditional antidepressants. In clinical trials, the side effects of DEPLIN® were about the same as those of a placebo (a pill or liquid with no active medicine, such as a sugar pill). DEPLIN®, which is safe to take with antidepressant medications when taken as indicated, is not associated with weight gain, insomnia, or sexual dysfunction.

How is DEPLIN

® different from over-the-counter (OTC) options?

OTC 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. DEPLIN® capsules can provide 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.

Deplin Oral: Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pictures, Warnings & Dosing

Uses

Folic acid is the man-made form of folate. Folate is a B-vitamin naturally found in some foods. It is needed to form healthy cells, especially red blood cells.Folic acid supplements may come in different forms (such as L-methylfolate, levomefolate, methyltetrahydrofolate). They are used to treat or prevent low folate levels. Low folate levels can lead to certain types of anemia. Conditions that can cause low folate levels include poor diet, pregnancy, alcoholism, liver disease, certain stomach/intestinal problems, kidney dialysis, among others. Women of childbearing age should receive adequate amounts of folic acid either through their diet or supplements to prevent infant spinal cord birth defects.
