Review: Use daily - Naturopath Doctor recommended. Works very well according to my bloodwork.
Review: The right stuff for me. - My doctor gave me a genrtic test to see if I was a "non-methylator" The test did show a gene mutation that makes it so that the folic acid in my diet can't be methylated by my body. I needed to take it in a pr-methylated form in order for my body to asorb it. I started at at very low dose 7.5mcg. I've had depression/anxiety for years but no one ever thought to do a genetic test to see if I had a mutation, It's really common in the population. My psych NP raised the dose to 15,000mch/day. Eventually I'll be bumped up to 20,000mcg which she feels is a more usual dose with people with the Mthfr gene mutation. tolerate it well. I do feel better, less depressed and "moody. So I can say I like this brand and the affordable price point.I happy with my purchase and will continue to repurchase as needed.
