About this service

Focused folate support for speech, cognition, and neurological function.

Leucovorin, also known as folinic acid, has shown meaningful potential for children with Autism, especially those with folate metabolism issues or Cerebral Folate Deficiency. Folate is essential for speech, cognitive development, and social interaction.

Some children on the spectrum have trouble transporting folate into the brain. Leucovorin helps bypass this transport issue by supplying the brain with the active form of folate it needs.

At The Autism Clinic, we use Leucovorin therapy as part of a targeted functional medicine approach. Many families have observed positive changes in language, behaviour, and broader neurological function when it is used appropriately.
