A member asked:
What is the difference between folgard and l-methylfolate? i heard that l-methyl can help with mthfr/ preg. loss which i have is this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Folgard: Folgard is a multimineral tablet containing Folic Acid & vitamin b6. L-methylfolate is the active form of folate; Folic Acid must be changed into this form in your body. If you have one of the genetic polymorphisms of folate metabolism (it can be tested for), then the l-methylfolate will be the better option for you because your body isn't making the step from Folic Acid to active folate.
