Does anyone have a recommendation on how to raise folate levels, ie how much should I supplement and should I use tablets or spray. I understand folic acid is what I need. My folate is at the bottom of the range 6.1 when the top is 4.6.
I am already taking iron and B12 (sublingual). I am having Vitamin D tested tomorrow together with a retest of my iron (serum and ferritin).
Many thanks

Have you made a typo?
I was prescribed 5mg daily folic acid for low folate. It's also available OTC. Supplementing B12 can deplete folate. It's good practice to supplement both together.
