User Reviews for folic acid

the MTHFR genetic SNiP inhibits Folic Acid methylation metabolism in 16% (by 100%) and 32% (by 50%) of Hispanic Caucasians. A pesticide, glyphosate, kills Lacto- and Bifido-bacillus effecting Gut Dysbiosis inhibiting Folic Acid methylation. FDA Law defined Folic Acid, a synthetic precursor created in 1943, to be Folate, L-MF vitamin B9. The CDC finds Folic Acid at 2x the level intended by the FDA Law in people.

Using 15 mg. of 5-MTHF from Extrafolate-S. Only been using it for about two 1/2 weeks. DNA tests showed I was low in producing folate. I can't tell any difference so far. It is supposed to support my psychiatric medications.

Was not compatible with IBS! Didn't have a good experience at all.

counter effective, makes me sick

I have no experience with this and was researching if MTHF would be effective for someone already with breast cancer, but your website does not distinguish between MTHF, folate and folice acid they are not the same thing and you are not providing quality information for individuals who do not know or understand that. YOu should do a better job of providing quality information to people.

EFFECTIVE

I started taking these pills 4days ago and I have stomach cramps since I started and my bowel is lose and smelly, I wonder is its working or damaging further.

This doesn't give a reason of miscarriage or MTHFR as reasons for taking this treatment, but it's the real reason I did. I had 6 miscarriages, 5 of which were consecutive after having had 3 healthy children. I went to doctor after doctor finally being diagnosed with MTHFR. After an RE recommended folic acid (which is NOT the same as methylfolate - 2 different forms of vitamin B9), I discovered that made things worse. I did my own research and discovered methylfolate. I took this and the very next pregnancy was carried to full term with a healthy baby as a result. Not only that though - my chronic fatigue, depression, neurological issues, and memory loss all immediately and dramatically improved. Folic acid is synthetic and cheap - but it is not what the body uses. It has to convert it to methylfolate first. For those of us with MTHFR polymorphisms, this process is either partially or completely broken. Folic acid is not only useless to us, it is actually deadly. I wish someone had told me years ago all I needed was a better vitamin B9!!Read More Read Less

My wife takes Dylantin for epilepsy. She started taking folic acid about a week ago. This morning as we began our morning walk, she became dizzy and nauseous, to the point that we had to terminate our walk.
