High folate accompanies low B12. It may also be high if you are not converting folic acid in the body to its active form,
methylfolate. The folic acid builds up therefore. And your tissues may be starved for the active form.
Getting a homocysteine test will reveal more.
People with the genetic failure MTHFR polymorphisms cannot make active vitamins for the body to use, from those taken in pill form or from enriched foods. Many foods today are enriched with folic acid, so that may read high in some people.
People with the MTHFR gene polymorphism typically develop elevated homocysteine as they age.
