- Folic acid is essential for regulating homocysteine (Hcy) levels, which are linked to cardiovascular health and can be lowered by daily supplementation.

- The article concludes that individuals with elevated Hcy should consider folic acid supplementation early on, as it is readily available and may help decrease the risk of vascular disease and other health issues.
Purpose Of Review: The human gut microbiome is involved in a bi-directional communication pathway with the central nervous system (CNS), termed the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The microbiota-gut-brain axis is believed to mediate or modulate various central processes through the vagus nerve. The microbiota-gut-brain axis is involved with the production of microbial metabolites and immune mediators which trigger changes in neurotransmission, neuroinflammation, and behavior.
