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.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articl...

Mine is deficient at 3 micro g /L (range 3-25). I'd love to know what is an optimal level to aim for.

Many thanks!

It should be at least in double figures. With that range, over 14. :)
