When B12 is very low, and not treated/fixed, and THEN you use
folic acid, that is when a problem may occur. What happens is that there may be an "improvement" in feeling, but further damage to nerves continues because the B12 remains low.

But since your B12 levels are very good, the risk from folate is not applicable anymore. In other words, not a worry.

There other factor is that you are already using the methyl form. Other forms of B12,
need to be methylated, and the folate takes that up instead. It is not an issue with the new methylcobalamin, like it would be with the cyano (older type).
