Oh, not at all, Mrs.D.
I think I'll just supplement with 400 mg of folate or no more and then say 1 or so mg of B12, at least until I can get tested.
No process (so fortified) foods for me.
Thank you again.

I am sorry it is the C677T...  My old brain has always been confused with abbreviations.
The risks for using folate in high doses, pertains to having low B12 and not knowing it. In these cases, the folate masks neurological symptoms leading to damage.
This is why RX folate of 1mg or above requires a doctor's prescription.
Folate is added to cereals, flour, and pastas. (also breads) in the US. |
