folinic acid

Littledancingtiger profile image

Hi just thought would start a post about this. Anyone take folinic acid? I've been struggling with tolerating both folic acid and methylfolate but definitely need a supplement of something. I am going to try out a lower dose of the folic first but just looking into other options. I don't know anything about this one. Just looking into this as an option and wondered if anyone uses it and can give me a bit of advice.

There should be very little difference in the fuctioning of folic acid and folinic acid. Both are easily converted to tetrahydrofolate in the cell.

I suppose it is possible that the two might have different effects on the gut when taken orally. But I’d be surprised.
