A member asked:
Have been on 15mg l-5-methyltetrahydrofolate for years. apparently due to the gene thing and initial high homocysteine levels. have to wonder (albeit years later). is this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Yes, this is quite safe, much safer than having the high homocysteine that you would have if you did not take it. See https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2015/5/why-so-many-people-require-the-metabolically-active-form-of-folic-acid/page-01?p=1 to learn more about it.
