Methyl folate is a better form, I am told. But you are obviously converting your folic acid to folate really well.

I am right off doctors at the moment!

For over 90% of the population folic acid is just as good as methylfolate. Indeed, some might say it's better - 1. It's cheaper; 2. It has a higher bioavailability.

There's no accounting for doctors May61 (unfortunately in more ways than one)!

Good luck with the MRI results and I hope your neck feels better soon x
