Oh, my....

When you are done with this, please contact me for some good brands of methylfolate and methylB12.

The other ingredients in this product are giving me some heebeejeebees right now.
Quote:
Folic Acid B12 90 Tablets by Standard Process. Folic acid and vitamin B12 taken together work to prevent birth defects of the central nervous system and help to mature and strengthen red blood cells. Folic acid has also been shown to have protective cardiovascular benefits. Folic Acid B12 is also essential in the important processes of DNA formation and genetic replication.These statements have not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Ingredients: Serving Size: 1 Tablet Calories 2 Folate 400 mcg 100% Vitamin B12 6 mcg 100% Proprietary Blend: 350 mgCarrot (root), calcium lactate, bovine liver, porcine stomach parenchyma, defatted wheat (germ), bovine spleen, ovine spleen, bovine adrenal Cytosol extract, oat flour, and ascorbic acid.Other Ingredients: Honey, cellulose, folic acid, dicalcium phosphate, and cyanocobalamin. Dosage: One tablet per day, or as directed.
Bovine sources of tissue which may contain nerve tissue can be a vector for mad cow. I avoid all those products for that reason.

If you have intact intrinsic factor the B12 6mcg may work.
If you have no methylation errors, the folic acid may work.

After many years online it has occurred to me that people who show up on internet forums have some "problem". Today with our new DNA tests available, we can see the problems can be a common mutation in methylation. So one person with intact MTHFR enzymes can methylate folic acid properly. And not likely show up here. All the others, end up with obscure problems tied to methylation failures, and end up with PN and other diseases/symptoms.

The test can be done today without a doctor, and the price just was lowered:
