Abstract
FOLZIN-5 Tablets contain the body's preferred form of folate with added advantage of zinc, which play a key role in a variety of biochemical reactions that are required for normal cell division and repair. Folate is the generic term comprising all the various chemical folate forms, which are water soluble B-vitamins, and also include synthetic pro vitamin folic acid. LMF is highly bioavailable source of folic acid. It is the natural, active form of folic acid which is an integral component of prenatal care, homocysteine management, depression treatment, dementia and cardiovascular concerns. LMF is a vitamin essential for reproductive health. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a structural constituent of membranes specifically in the central nervous system. Its accumulation in the fetal brain takes place mainly during the last trimester of pregnancy and continues at very high rates up to the end of the second year of life. Since the endogenous formation of DHA seems to be relatively low, DHA intake may contribute to optimal conditions for brain development. We performed a narrative review on research on the associations between DHA levels and brain development and function throughout the lifespan. Data from cell and animal studies justify the indication of DHA in relation to brain function for neuronal cell growth and differentiation as well as in relation to neuronal signaling. Most data from human studies concern the contribution of DHA to optimal visual acuity development. Accumulating data indicate that DHA may have effects on the brain in infancy, and recent studies indicate that the effect of DHA may depend on gender and genotype of genes involved in the endogenous synthesis of DHA. While DHA levels may affect early development, potential effects are also increasingly recognized during childhood and adult life, suggesting a role of DHA in cognitive decline and in relation to major psychiatric disorders. The present paper Reviews the Role of FOLZIN-5® Tablets developed by R&D cell of ELARYK PHARMACEUTICALS NEW DELHI for prevention & treatment of Neurological & Psychiatric disorders.
