You can start here:

Basically you will need methylated B12 and methylated folate if you have the MTHFR mutation, for life.

A blood test for MMA and/or homocysteine will show elevations that B12 (non-methylated-- cyano form) is not working for you properly.

methylcobalamin 1mg or 5 mg daily on an empty stomach.

methylfolate called Metafolin by Solgar, 800mcg daily or more if you are seriously low. (should be advised by a doctor in higher than 800mcg doses daily. Can be taken with food.

Both are available at iherb.com and neither is expensive.
