That level is fine.

When you get the injection, it is the cyano type, and you might not be able to handle that as well as the methyl oral.

I don't think you need the injection if you take the methyl every day.

If you have the methylation error/mutation and cannot methylate properly (MTHFR), you will be low in folate too. There is a methylfolate called metafolin. Estimates are that 10-30% of people cannot methylate properly because of this DNA mutation.

If you had a test close to the injection time, some of your level may be artificially raised. You would have to wait a week for a more accurate result.

Just make sure you eat potassium rich foods, and you should be okay.
