less than 4mcg/L is considered deficiency. Most people do not have low folate as folic acid is added to US foods.

However if you have the DNA mutation in MTHFR enzymes you could be low in folate. Using methylfolate therefore is a good idea for those patients. NeuroTalk members are increasingly having this DNA testing done and many are showing up with variants in the MTHFR system (errors in methylation). You might consider having this done to see if your slow healing is due to this genetic error.
