I'm taking from your post and links that everything should be go to go. The Folic Acid is a concern as my tumor was colon and I get the pleasure of yearly colonostopies  I don't think I'm taking it at all...am I?
Yeah the cost of suppliments is no laughing matter, but laughing makes the pain go away |
No, you are not taking the folate in high dose, unless you forgot to tell me so far. I'd keep the folate at 400-800mcg/day if you take a multi --it will be in there. We get folate from enhanced flour products, pasta and cereal now in the US.
Until this is more clearly explained, folate vs active methyl and which is the culprit and in what doses, we should all be moderate with folic acid. (methyl folate is the active form).
The doses that were implicated so far were above 2mg/day and more like 5mg/day.( in younger women who were taking it to prevent spina bifida in their babies).
