What people say about Folate and mood
“I have been taking methylfolate with methylcobalamin for almost two months now and my prefrontal abilities with respect to planning and stress management have improved dramatically.”
“I tried so many things for depression like saffron rhodiola tyrosine omega 3 methylfolate B12 taurine theanine NAC inositol b complex magnesium nothing helps it.”
“The first couple times I took methylfolate I felt better and more energetic than ever before...after about 6 months experimenting I would say it has had a good overall effect and I do feel quite a bit better.”
“I take it anyway and it works fine. I take a b complex about once per week, and another dose of 400mcg methylfolate + 500mcg methylb12 once per week.”
