Help with Co factors
Hi So after at least two long years of trying to get a diagnosis through the GP I have had to resort to SI EOD which my hubby has taken to like a duck to water 😊 However I still don’t really understand which Co factors I should be taking Can anyone recommend a good brand and dosage of folic acid

How soon can I re-test folate levels?
After getting a low folate blood test, I have changed my diet to greatly increase folate intake (can't tolerate any folate supplement). How soon can I take another blood test to see if my levels have come up? It has been 3 weeks since I changed my diet.

Hi everyone! Sharing my last test results!My levels all seem to be better, Antibodies are still high though, do you think is still worth keeping a GF and DF diet? I had the idea that removing gluten and dairy would magically reduce antibodies 😅 My symptoms have improved a bit, but I cannot say I'm

anemia but digestive issues (diarrhea)/multivitamins
Good evening everyone, I´m writing on behalf of my sister who is lactating now on her second year and has been suffering from diarrhea for the last two months. She has always had a tendency to it, but it seems to be aggravated. She is taking iron(liposmated) with vit C(ascorbic acid) because she has

Ttc with high tpo antibodies
I have had 3 miscarriages in the last couple of years. 1 spontaneous 2 mmc. Always around 6 to 7 weeks. I was given aspirin and progesterone on the last pregnancy but it didn't work. After my 3rd mc I had lots of investigations done and it showed I had high TPO antibodies. Everything else was normal.

New concept
At least to me. I wanted to do a trial of Folic Acid and knew it might be impossible to evaluate the effects as it is summer and I am able to improve by what I do physically and I have more healing energy as I am not using energy to deal with the difficulty caused by the winter weather. I understand

Female and male pre conception supplements
Hi Everyone!I'm looking for recommendations on pre conception supplements for me and my husband. My husband has a low sperm count so any recommendations to help that and I'm wondering are there any supplements for women that don't contain folic acid so I can take folate separately? Thanks :)

What folate level should I aim for?
I've been searching and I cannot find the answer to this anywhere - what folate level should I aim for? I found one study where healthy men had a folate level of 12 ng/ml. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4236337/ Mine is deficient at 3 micro g /L (range 3-25). I'd love to know what is

self injecting and wondering what else I should be taking?
As per the title I am self injecting and was taking a really strong Folate 1000ug but then someone told me if you take to much folate it masks b12 deficiency ? I am wondering what I should be taking and what doses. Not just peoples opinions but scientifically proven.

Folic acid and digestive issues
Has anyone suffered loose bowel after starting folic acid? Only been on it a week and started getting loose bowel since then, wondered whether this is the cause. If so, should I stick with or try methyl folate instead?

Tests results: MTHFR mutation
Hey, hope everyone is doing well. So just as a bit of background I'm prepping for my third and final IVF cycle next month. After my second cycle failed my consultant recommended a heap of tests to just "cross the ts" and it's taken ages for all the genetic tests to come back. In that time the tests

Apixaban and methylfolate
Hi. Does anyone know if its safe to take methylfolate 400mcg whilst being treated with Apixaban? I ran out of methylfolate before being prescribed Apixaban and I can't find a definite answer. Folic acid isn't any good for me but my folate levels have dropped so need to do something.

understanding test results
recently been told my b12 levels are on the low side and have had 4 out of my 5 loading doses. Just checked the rest of my blood test results and some of my levels are out of ref range. I don’t really understand them all. I’m currently 12 weeks pregnant if that changes anything. I feel pretty pants if

I have more than one supplement with folate in it and wanted to check it is safe to take large amounts.
