That probably has folic acid in it. Methylfolate is only in a very few OTC complexes today.
Folic acid is not active in the body until methylated --which can commonly fail.
Folic acid or methylfolate should not be taken if you suspect B12 deficiency...it can mask neuro symptoms, leading to a false sense of security, and neuro damage can result. This is why 1mg or more folic acid requires a doctor's prescription. With the fortification of US foods, folic acid is typically not deficient in Americans today.
This is why testing is important.
Let me give you a visual image to help explain this.
Imagine a large stadium like you see on football games on TV.
Typically they have 100,000 people or more in them.
Taking the lowest known % of people who CANNOT convert cyanocobalamin and folic acid to their active forms in the body, which is 10%.... 10,000 of those people could be non-methylators!
They are destined for serious problems if not discovered.
We have tests for DNA to determine your methylation ability, now that do not require a doctor even!
