You can be, but folate is rarely low. Often it is elevated in fact, especially if B12 is low. Folate is fortified now in US foods, so it
is not likely to be low. Sometimes when doctors do B12 tests, they order folate also. But not all of them do that.
A good all purpose B complex with moderate doses, is B-Right.

Jarrow has kept up with the research and offers the activated forms now in this nice formula. Many people over the years here have used it (I still do myself) and were very pleased with it. Amazon's price is about the lowest I've seen for it too.
Usually Jarrow is not available at local stores. This gives good amounts of the complex, but far below 50mg or 100mg that most B complexes have. (some people don't need that much and may have side effects from those high doses.)
