People in the US today have folic acid in fortified foods so low folate is not common. Only those who cannot methylate the folic acid need to take it as methylfolate. This is a DNA mutation which affects B12 in cyano form as well.
The new research suggests to avoid folic acid if you use methylfolate (MetaFolin) because it is thought that they compete at the blood brain barrier for entrance to the brain. So people using methylfolate should avoid folic acid in B-complex mixtures.
