One really should have B12 levels measured when using anything above 800mcg a day of folate.

High dose folate can mask a B12 deficiency leading to nerve damage. The RX form called Deplin is 7.5mg per tablet. It was approved for use in that high dose for treating some forms of clinical depression.

People reacting with energy to methylfolate should ideally get the DNA test for MTHFR mutations. This is being found today to be more common than previously thought.
