Each capsule contains the following:
Folate [as 15,000mcg (as 15mg) DFE (dietary folate equivalents) L-5 MTHF (from L-5 methyltetrahydrofolate calcium salt)]
Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, capsule (gelatin,titanium dioxide, FD&C yellow #5, FD&C yellow #6), vegetable magnesium stearate, and silica
Warning and Precautions
Folic Acid, when administered in daily doses above 0.1mg may obscure the detection of B12 deficiency (specifically, the administration of folic acid may reverse the hematological manifestations of B12 deficiency, including pernicious anemia, while not addressing the neurological manifestations). 5-MTHF may be less likely than foli acid to mask vitamin B12 deficiency. Folate therapy alone is inadequate for the treatment of a B12 deficiency.
A major depressive episode may be the inital presentation of bipolar disorder. It is generally believed, although not established in controlled trials, that treating such an episode with an antidepressant alone may increase the likelihood of a precipitation of mixed/manic episode in patients at risk for bipolar disorder. Denovo is not an antidepressant. However, 5-MTHF has been shown to enhance antidepressant effects of known antidepressants. Caution is recommended in patients with a history of bipolar illness. Patients with depressive symptoms should be adequately screened to determine if they are at risk for bipolar disorder since mood elevation in this population is possible.
Denovo should always be used under medical supervision.
