Solgar Folate 1000 mcg, 120 Tablets - 1000 mcg Bio-active Metafolin - Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Kosher - 120 Servings

Needed to supplement folate per doctors orders for my twins. Used this one. They came out fine :)

A friend told me how she'd been prescribed Deplin, a medical food, to take along with her long-prescribed anti-depressant, and how mellow and anxiety-free she was feeling after a couple of weeks. My curiosity piqued, I looked it up and found that it's "just" methylated folate. I read up on the supplement, user reviews on various forums, and learned I could replicate a standard 15 mg. rx over the counter. Amazon comes again to my aid! I ordered this product because it is the exact type of methylfolate used in prescription Deplin. I started with a 7.5 mg. dose (7.5 tablets) because I'd read that some people experience nausea or headaches when first starting, and the way to avoid that is to start at a smaller dose and also take 50 mg. flush-type niacin and some B12 with it (I don't recall the amount of B12 suggested, but I take a 1000 mcg. sublingual). No nausea, no headache. After a week I went to 15 mg. (15 tablets) along with the niacin and B12. It kicked in and I noticed feeling, well, like my friend said, mellow. Emotionally supported from within, in a soft, pleasant way. A total drop in feeling irritated by things, not getting caught up in worry, just feeling relaxed. I found my blood pressure readings significantly lowered, like down to 98/55! I'd checked it when I felt like I was too relaxed. So I reduced my bp medication (which was fine with my doc) and I feel really good every day. Lastly, I just learned I can get a 15 mg. x 30 rx filled at Costco for $38, as opposed to paying $65 a month for four bottles of this Solgar product, so I'll probably see my doc and go that route. But this product allowed me to try methylfolate without the cost of a dr.'s visit for what was essentially a whim. *******UPDATE July 7, 2016******* Change of mind about going the rx route; will instead switch to Methyl-Life 15 mg. chewables, sold on this site. Currently $79 for a 90 day supply, which is a whole lot cheaper than Solgar, especially since they raised the price by $5 since my recent repurchase. Also cheaper than a $38 rx.

Taking 3 of these ever night for my twin pregnancy! So far so good, no side effects and everyone seems to be growing perfectly!

What can I say, I can only assume it is wo rking from f[the way I feel.

I was excited to take these but after 3-days of taking 1 per day I noticed pools of blood on the backs of my hands. After discontinuing them the blood went away so I had to throw them away. 😔

The product and the company making it are both well known and excellent. This provider supplied it very quickly, sealed, and in condition—all at a satisfactory price. I highly recommend them, as opposed to my previous attempt with another company……..still awaiting product to arrive 6 weeks after ordering and still awaiting refund (see my previous review. This present company is head and shoulders better.

Perfecto gracias

My folate level was extremely low so my doctor told me to get a supplement for this. I’ve been using this brand for some time. When I went back in for bloodwork, my folate level was perfect. I’ll only buy this.

Very good product
