I'm not even sure why they put that in there? What does folic acid have to do with dibencozide, or B12 in general in that matter?
I found myself asking this same question several months back. I have used Country Life dibencozide for quite some time, but I didn't want the folic acid that went with it.

I have worked hard trying to just take methylfolate in lieu of folic acid which appears in many foods and supplements.

I found this B complex which works very well for me:

Douglas labs B complex with Metafolin

http://www.douglaslabs.com/pdf/pds/200765.pdf

I take this once a day along with vitamin C, D3 and and gamma E. It provides a suitable dose of methyfolate along with the B vitamins in good forms. I do take additional B12 than what this product has but it does contain methyl B12 (not B12 cobalamin) which is a bonus.
