Clinician’s Note

Why Methylfolate?

“We prioritize Methylfolate (5-MTHF) over Folic Acid because a significant percentage of the population has the MTHFR genetic variant, making it difficult to convert synthetic folate. This is the bioavailable form your brain actually uses for neurotransmitter synthesis.”

— Arthur J. Anderson, APRN
Clinician’s Note

EPA vs. DHA for Depression

“Not all omega-3s are equal for mood. Meta-analyses consistently show that EPA-dominant formulations — not DHA — drive the anti-inflammatory benefit for depressive symptoms. That’s why every omega-3 in our dispensary meets the ≥1g EPA threshold.”

— Arthur J. Anderson, APRN
Evidence Guide
Strong Evidence Multiple RCTs, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses supporting clinical use.
Moderate Evidence Supported by clinical studies with promising but less definitive results.
Emerging Evidence Preclinical data or early-stage human trials showing plausible mechanisms.
