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...

Using 15 mg. of 5-MTHF from Extrafolate-S. Only been using it for about two 1/2 weeks. DNA tests showed I was low in producing folate. I can't tell any difference so far. It is supposed to support my psychiatric medications.

I am using this product while trying to conceive. It's effective in the fact that my levels were low 9 months ago and now I am at healthy levels, which are required to conceive.

I have been taking this for almost 3 months to help with the effects of methotrexate. Side effects get better several days after taking the methotrexate; however the folic acid I take every day. Joint pain has improved minimally but treatment for my RA has just really started and my rheumatologist says to give it several months.

I am taking GNC Womens Prenatal Vitamin with 1,000 mcg of Folic Acid, and also eating a diet rich in folic acid. I've been feeling nauseated and have gas. Difficult to know if it is because of pregnancy hormones, or if it is a side effect of high dose of folic acid. I will be switching to a lower dose, now that I am in my second trimester and see what happens.

I am taking this drug as a preventive measure while trying to conceive. I have had no side effects and find it very easy to take. Though I won't be certain how well it works until I become pregnant, I am confident it will be well worth it.

After using Folic Acid for several months I developed severe rash and itching. I stopped the medication and after about a week the rash and itching stopped. Antihistimane is the only medication that relieved the itch.
