Folate

[dottyb09]

Just been looking back on some Medicheck results from December and wondering if my Folate is high enough. I take a B12 complex every day (Vitablossom Liposomal B Complex) but do I need more folate?

FOLATE - SERUM

08 Dec 2022

19.4 nmol/L (8.8s - 60.8 R)

VITAMIN B12 - ACTIVE

08 Dec 2022

131 pmol/L (37.5 - 188 R)

VITAMIN D

08 Dec 2022

123 nmol/L (50 - 250 R)

Personally I would take some extra folate for now, try to achieve half way through range then just the B Complex should be enough.

I'm doing that at the momet as my folate level tumbled and besides the same B Complex that you are using I add Vegavero Folic Acid 400mcg

Although it says Folic Acid it is definitely methylfolate and it has no additives other than linseed flour.

Thank you, I will order some today.

See how you go with 1 Vegavero daily in addition to your B Complex. Use the bottle up then I'd retest to see how your level has changed and whether you need to continue or go back to just B Complex.

Ok, I'll do that. Thank you for your help.
