User Reviews for folic acid

I haven't had any side effects with this drug.

I initially started taking it with iron and vitamin B complex to help my complete blood count. What I do not like is how I need to take one tablet with food. I wish I could take it without. My blood has never been healthier though, and I always had anemia. Plus it really speeds up your metabolism and I seemed to have lost fat but muscle stayed. More energy, overall feeling better. Highly recommend it for weightloss and blood problems. I take 1-800mcg tablet once, sometimes twice a day.

sleeplessnes, restless leg syndrome, hands and feet numbness

For unknown reasons, either due to stroke, parkinsons, or some other cause. My left leg has strange sensation. This feeling which is hard to describe, but with definte symptoms, which include, an inward pointing of the left foot with exsessive toe curling. After doing some initial research on the internet I made the decision to self medicate with 8mg folic acid daily, after one month, I experienced definite improvement almost complete remission of symptoms but after discontinued supplementation the symptoms return. After restarting supplementation I experience fast relief even when lowering the dosage too 4mg. Read More Read Less

I've been taking 1mg 5-MTHF per day for several months to assist my prescribed anti-depressant and it really has helped.

No side effects

Methylfolate is not folic acid. I've taken folic acid and did not work for my depression. L-methylfolate is the natural form of folate I'm told and what my brain needs. You may be confusing readers by linking methylfolate and folic acid which are completely different.

It has been quite helpful in my treatment.

Its too soon to that I was prescibed this folic acid, but I wholehardly believe in vitatmins.

lovely jobly

it is a fight to get the blood test done"homo what?" "we don't do that" "insurance won't pay for it" Well, I will so do what ask! this is a bunch of BS. i came to your websitefor info about folate ,folic acid, man-made, folacin,good , or not good or what my treatment isn't really any of your business what is important is that the info i was looking for you don't provide that is which forms are natural and which if any are man made (and therefore suspect to being bad or ineffective). there was no way provided for a curious user to ask questions no way to expand knowledge beyond a dictionary definition. you should be more than that.
