Contains: Glucosamine, Vitamin C
My integrative medicine MD advised me about a year ago to take folate NOT folic acid as the folic acid is not metabolized well by the body and causes free radicals to form thus contributing to many health problems including ðŸ'" disease, cancer and insulin resistance! Another reviewer,(gave it one star) wrongly claimed that vitamin C should not be taken with folate. Vitamin C works well with all water soluble vitamins
Read More...I started taking methylated folate early this summer when I found out my folate levels, which had not previously been checked, were very low. My NP said to skip folic acid supplements because my body probably was not converting folic acid to the usable (methylated) form of folate very well. I learned later that I do have certain methylation-related genetic mutatations. These are not causing me any health problems currently (I am in excellent health), but folate is used in critical chemical processes in the body -- methylation switches on and off various genes contributing to good (or poor) health, it provides building blocks for RNA/DNA, and also helps one make various important neurotransmitters (seratonin, dopamine -- stuff we all need to be happy and functional human beings). Anecdotally, I think that methyl folate probably has brought low levels of inflammation present in my body down. At my last dentist appointment to have my teeth cleaned, the hygienist told me that the inflammation that had been present in my gums for the last year or two was gone. Yay! Who wants gum disease? Not to mention that oral inflammation is linked to heart disease! I also had my homocysteine levels checked recently for the first time ever and they are normal. So, I am a believe in taking methyl-folate. And I've had good experience with Doctor's Best products -- they are probably not top of the line, but I always find them to be a good value, especially when one is shelling out money for multiple supplements already
Read More...I've been taking this along with other supplements for migraines and since starting on this program, along with PharmaGABA, I haven't had a migraine in 40 days. Had 10 of them from Mar 6 to May 9 and the last two were each 8 days apart
Read More...I bought this because I have an mthfr mutation, homozygous C677T. I've never had this much energy in my life. I tried this and a different supplement off of amazon and this was better by far
Read More...Have been taking this for years. If you take a thyroid prescription medication, you should definitely take this in my opinion
Read More...I take this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach for maximum absorbency. I also give it about an hour to totally get into my system before taking my omeprazole. I take it with my B12 and a glass of juice. Holy cow it gives me enough energy to go to the park and walk 2 miles BEFORE breakfast! That's amazing too because not only do I suffer from chronic pain, but that makes me fall into deep depressions where I don't even want to move. But I take my morning supplements and I go walk while they absorb. I feel amazing. So much more energy. And my hair is growing like a weed. I was already taking some hair vitamins with little to no results, but I read that folate is good for hair growth and they weren't lying. I'm happy about this purchase and will always make sure this stuff is on hand! Hope this helps
Read More...About to buy my 3rd bottle. I've taken this daily before I got pregnant and throughout my pregnancy. I noticed on days I missed, my emotions were all over the place. I know for women, folate is essential. Especially when you are pregnant
Read More...This product so-far works wonders and is one of the most intriguing supplements I have ever experimented with. I formerly took methyl folate with no noticeable effect. Upon using this optimized folate I am feeling less general anxiety and my mood has been centered with an overall sense of well-being. I have also noticed more mental energy throughout the day and my coffee cravings have gone down. I get the sense that the folate is a more psychoactive substance than the caffeine
Read More...Let me just say, if you feel depressed and super moody, and you hate getting up everyday, and you can't wait to go to sleep at night, and just everything bothers you, not to mention your nails are brittle and weak. You might want to try this! I went down hill and did some research and found that a lack of this in the body can cause a lot of problems. I was getting migraines everyday too. The first few hrs of the first pill i took, i already felt better! I barely get migraines now. I've had maybe 2 since i started taking this. And migrained are something that runs in my family that only excedrin helped, and i was taking it everyday. I haven't taken any since i got this. I actually go outside now and take walks with my head up. I highly recommend trying this before going to the dr for anti depressants or anxiety meds
Read More...Wow. I've been taking this for a couple of days now and I can already tell a difference. I have more energy. I am happier I'm not procrastinating as much. I have a better outlook on life. My anxiety is much less. I feel like my glass is half full instead of half empty. Where has this been all my life?!?
