A member asked:
My blood test from a few months back shows my folate levels were on the low side but in normal range. would i benefit from taking folate supplements?

It usually would not do any harm. It would be helpful to get your B12 level tested as well, because taking folate in the presence of B12 deficiency can be harmful.
