I looked around the net not long ago, and found a discussion on depression and Deplin. The posters on that blog did not find it helpful. There are studies suggesting it works for some, but the 4 or 5 people were adamant that it did not work for them.
It is pretty strong --7.5mg and in nature we don't consume that much at a time, and perhaps this is a problem?
It comes OTC by Solgar at 800mcg tablets. Less expensive.

People who have that MTHFR polymorphism DNA mutation, really need this form of folate. They cannot methylate folic acid in the body properly.
Please don't take this if you are low in B12... as low B12 + folate can lead to more nerve damage. Either get tested for the B12 or take it anyway with any folate you supplement.
Methylcobalamin is best, is the active form, and only pennies a day.
