Plant-Powered Folate: The Whole Food Advantage for Methylation, Brain Health, and Cardiovascular Support presented by Dr. Sarah Clarke, IFMCP
August 13, 2025 at Noon Eastern
Folate plays a critical role in methylation, neurological function, and cardiovascular health. In recent years, supplementation with folic acid and high-dose methylated folate has become a common strategy in clinical practice. However, given the prevalence of genetic polymorphisms, nutrient conversion concerns, and folate depletion driven by medications, malabsorption, and restrictive diets, these approaches may not be ideal for all patients. Innovative food-based alternatives to conventional folate supplementation are both timely and clinically relevant.
Join Standard Process clinical educator Dr. Sarah Clarke and explore the clinical power of whole-food derived folate.

Learning Objectives:
1. Differentiate between synthetic folic acid, methylated folate, and food-derived folate in terms of bioavailability, safety, and clinical applications.
2. Identify patient characteristics and lifestyle, genetic, and dietary factors that may contribute to folate depletion.
3. Evaluate the clinical significance of folate-B12 synergy and the impact of folate deficiency on methylation, homocysteine levels, and chronic disease risk.
4. Learn about whole-food derived folate supplementation as a tool to support neurological, cardiovascular, and cellular health.
