"Methylfolate is safe and well-tolerated, with no downside, so presumably a large percentage of physicians will be reluctant to recommend it due to concern over methylfolate toxicity."

I am just starting to learn about different forms of folate. This article seems like a legitimate summary. Please let me know if contents are inaccurate and I will remove the post.

This article also seems helpful. I have difficulty knowing whether the information is accurate, so please let me know if it is not accurate.
