Lightbulb there are
genetic errors that prevent normal use of folic acid.

They are called polymorphisms.

Folinic acid and methylfolate bypass this stalemate, and are more active
in the body.

You may have one of the 25 polymorphisms that exist. (25 so far have been identified).

Thanks MRSD!

If it was a polymorphism why would it take 'til middle adulthood to manifest....and would the Folate level of 1,575 nmol/L (ref range > 630) contraindicate that?
