A member asked:

I read that 1500 mcg/day l-methylfolate (5-mthf/levomefolic acid) can reduce depression. any brand you'd recommend? (i also take effexor/wellbutrin).

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pharmaceutical: L-methylfolate is an effective treatment of mood disorders if the patient cannot metabolize folic acid, a b vitamin, properly. I suggest you find a pharmaceutical grade. You may need to ask your doctor for a prescription.
