Functional Ingredients
- 6 mg L-Methylfolate Calcium – This active form of folate supports memory- and focus-related neurotransmitter production, while improving brain metabolism.
- 2 mg Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin) – This vitamin boosts energy production to support overall brain function.
- 600 mg N-Acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) – This antioxidant contributes to brain health by reducing oxidative stress.
Together these ingredients efficiently decrease homocysteine levels, which can help limit blood vessel damage and brain shrinkage linked to cognitive decline.
Ingredients
N-Acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), Microcrystalline Cellulose and Silicon Dioxide, Hypromellose, L-Methylfolate Calcium, Magnesium Stearate (NF, Vegetable Source), Methylcobalamin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Cerefolin Brain Wellness® different from other product options?
How is Cerefolin Brain Wellness® different from other product options?
Cerefolin Brain Wellness® began as a targeted nutrition product prescribed by neurologists and is recommended by neurologists to address the early signs of mild cognitive decline, protecting memory and cognitive function*. The ingredients in Cerefolin Brain Wellness® are different from the ingredients found in most folic acid products. Its formula provides the body with already-active folate (which means it can be absorbed and immediately used by the body because it doesn’t need to be broken down or activated), N-Acetyl-l-cysteine, and B12 that the body needs to address symptoms of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Most folic acid products need to be broken down in the body before the folate can be used, and many people may not be able to fully complete this activation.
Why does Cerefolin Brain Wellness® cost more than typical brain health supplements?
Why does Cerefolin Brain Wellness® cost more than typical brain health supplements?
Cerefolin Brain Wellness® is different from supplements. It is a clinically studied medical food, specifically formulated for the clinical dietary management of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) associated with elevated homocysteine levels.
Its price reflects the science, quality, and care involved in its development and manufacturing, including:
- Clinical research supporting the formulation, including studies in cognitive health and related biomarkers
- Manufacturing in GMP-certified facilities that follow strict quality and safety standards, with every batch undergoing rigorous testing to help ensure consistency, purity, and compliance
- Bioactive nutrients that the body can utilize directly, without additional conversion
- Medical food regulatory standards, which require a product to meet a well substantiated distinctive nutritional requirement related to a disease or condition and not general wellness benefits as with dietary supplements
Cerefolin Brain Wellness® is priced to reflect its role as a targeted, science-based, specially formulated nutritional formula designed to meet the specific nutrient needs related to MCI for use under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
What is the difference between CerefolinNAC® and Cerefolin Brain Wellness®?
What is the difference between CerefolinNAC® and Cerefolin Brain Wellness®?
CerefolinNAC® has been replaced by Cerefolin Brain Wellness®. If you are searching for CerefolinNAC® or whether it is discontinued, it has been renamed and updated to Cerefolin Brain Wellness®. It contains the same medical food ingredients, now free from major allergens (milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, sesame, and soy), as well as dyes and colorants. The name was changed to better reflect improved accessibility for both patients and healthcare providers.
What if I don’t have elevated homocysteine? Can I still use Cerefolin Brain Wellness®?
What if I don’t have elevated homocysteine? Can I still use Cerefolin Brain Wellness®?
Healthcare providers look at a range of nutritional and health factors when evaluating people with mild to moderate cognitive impairment, including factors related to oxidative stress, homocysteine, L-methylfolate, and vitamin B12. Please consult your healthcare provider to see if Cerefolin Brain Wellness® is right for you.
