Jarrow Formulas® Methyl Folate 1000 mcg, Dietary Supplement, Methyl Folate for Cellular Energy Support, 100 Veggie Capsules, 100 Day Supply

Very good take for heart health.

I had a CBC and it came back low white blood cells. Doc said we would keep an eye on it for a couple of months and if they stayed low she would send me to a hematologist. Google search turned up various types of leukemia, drop due to chemo (which I haven't had), rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune disorder marker or - after some deeeeep digging, malnutrition. Whaaaaa???? I was 132 after losing 6 pounds... in 36 hours. I had been subsisting on 90+ ounces of water (not including 30+ of green tea and about 20+ of latte) daily and a low carb protein meal replacement bar for like a week. It was summer, it was hot, and I was busy and excited about an upcoming event. Well, I'm a 49 year old solo mom of a medically fragile/cognitively disabled kid. I REFUSED ANYTHING BUT THE MALNUTRITION SELF DIAGNOSIS (lol). Further digging (this is where my OCD overthinking pays off sometimes) and I found out that the pins, needles, painful numbness I had been experiencing probably the past year was likely NOT carpal tunnel but a severe Vitamin B deficiency. Severe B deficiency is also a cause of, you guessed it, malnutritive low white blood cell count. Methyl Folate is part of that B deficiency equation, along with the possibilities of B12 and B6. So, I ordered this and a Super B Complex and started taking them twice a day. Within 3 days the (faux) carpal tunnel was GONE. At 4 weeks I asked for a follow up blood count and YAY!! it worked!! totally normal white blood cell count. I can't say for sure if it was this supplement or the Super B Complex or both, I just know to drink less water (64 ounces really is enough for me) and eat more 'meat and 3 non-fried vegetables' meals and take these supplements (regular dosage when I eat healthily) and I'm back as healthy as I can hope for...

Product was shipped very fast it looks to be what they say

I'd been looking for "pre-metabolized" folate for a while before I bought this. Word to the wise: this supplement is not available at most stores. However, I'm glad I bought it!My body can't metabolize folate very well at all, but this helps make sure that folate is part of the vitamins and minerals I get. I'd definitely recommend this.

I started taking high dosage of folate due to spina bifida on my husband's side of the family (his brother and a first cousin's daughter). I had consulted with a couple of gynecologists and also with a genetic counselor who all recommended that I take at least 3,000 micrograms of folate everyday.I'm very cautious of taking such high dosages so I started taking 2,000 a day for about 2 months. Since I started taking that high dosage my menstrual cycle completely skipped. I attributed it to the holidays and it being stress-related. I finally got my cycle on 47th day. I was pretty confident that the following month would have been fine and my cycle would resume as normal. This time I had spotting on the 20th day and two weeks later I'm having something like a cycle but not nearly as heavy as what I usually have.I did some research and there is a medical research on Chinese women and the intake of folic acid which has caused abnormalities with their cycles (google it). I'm definitely confident that that will be the case as I have reduced my intake to 1000 micrograms a day and lately I have not been taking it at all which I think is why I'm getting something like a cycle twice in the same month.I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the excessive take a folic acid can affect your menstrual cycle and therefore you would not even be able to ovulate as you should so that might be something to discuss with your doctor.I will be stopping the folate for now.

Works to counter act the folic acid added to flour rice crackers and bread. I eat way too muck “enriched” products but I cannot process folic acid. Lots of people’s body can’t metabolize. It it works for you in more energy then you know it works

I take 2 of these every day during pregnancy due to a mutation I have on the MTHFR gene. Because of MTHFR, I cannot have synthetic folic acid because my body doesn't know how to process it. These supplements are folate in its natural form and therefore the body doesn't have to work to break it down. They are easy to swallow and have no taste.

I’ve been using these to help with my ADD symptoms. I’m an adult but holy cow is my ADD on overdrive. These help me focus and clear the brain fog. I’ve also been giving them to my 12 year old. She has autism and ADHD, and these seem to help her as well. She is able to focus and express herself more. Great product!
