SOLGARFolate 1333 MCG DFE Metafolin® 800 mcg Tablets, Original, 8 Ounce

Works well and is high quality. Same quality as i was getting as an rx from doctor for a whole lot less.

This folate supplement from Solgar is a great choice for those seeking high-quality folate. The tablets are easy to swallow, and I appreciate that they use naturally sourced ingredients. A reliable option for daily folate intake.

Bought these when we first started TTC with baby #1.I didn't realize actually how beneficial these were to treatment of Antibiotic injuries. I had bactrim for a while and bactrim actually synthesizes to tetrahydrofolate (I think that's what it's called, could be wrong) DNA in your system and therefore depletes it in it's entirety to the point that you can develop serious side effects (like I did). Anyway, I took this every day religiously along with supplementation of a prenatal vitamin and lots of veggies and fruits. my POTs is starting to disappear now! I thought POTS was a chronic condition but this has helped me not only conceive but also stop blood from rushing and staying in my legs. POTS is basically nervous system damage that doctors have no idea how to treat because they don't use natural treatment to poison (thanks John D. Rockefeller for your amazing medical curriculum that kills millions of people a year and makes them suffer with "chronic" conditions) But seriously after taking a crap ton of folate my POTS is basically gone. I also supplemented with Thiamin and vitamin C so that combination works (at least for me) very well.Definitely recommend! Love it!The pill is also very small and not hard to swallow. I dip it in honey though because it is a bit bitter sometimes to swallow, especially if you suck at swallowing pills like me. Overall, I love this stuff! You also get great value for the amount of folate and folic acid you get. This will last me for a very long time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Easy to swallow

no issues with product works great

Folic acid (vitamin B9 or folate) is one of the B vitamins, all of which help the body change food into the fuel that produces energy. Also they help the body maintain a healthy liver and good eyes, help maintain a healthy nervous system, and keep skin and hair beautiful. It helps iron work in the body and has to do with making red blood cells. It controls the level of homocysteine, which is sometimes abnormally high in heart patients.We get B9 two ways. Folate is the natural form occurring in foods. Folic acid is the synthetic form, which is added to fortified foods (including grains in the United States) or given in pill form.Traditionally, nutritionists have considered an increased supply of folic acid for people who are in phases of their lives when there is rapid cell development. These times include infancy, teenage years, and pregnancy. If a pregnant woman has a deficiency, she could have a child with a cleft palate or a brain/spinal column deformity.Alcoholics and people with inflammatory bowel diseases and celiac disease may have deficiencies of this vitamin. A deficiency can cause a long list of problems, some related to poor mouth health, others related to poor digestion.What is interesting is that forgetfulness, along with mental sluggishness, is something seniors are often plagued with. Nutritionists cannot prove that seniors can benefit from taking it though. Also, a deficiency can cause irritability, forgetfulness, and mental sluggishness. A deficiency of this vitamin is associated with some other problems of aging: hearing loss, macular degeneration, and depression. Folic acid may prevent some types of cancer.Why should a senior adult not just take B9 as a supplement?First, there’s no concrete proof that it will help. Second, it should be available in a well-balanced diet Grains are fortified with it. Dark leafy greens have plenty of it. So do orange juice and milk. Third, too much folic acid can interact with a long list of medications—chemotherapy, antibiotics, and others. Too much of it can cause some bad side effects, such as seizures and mental confusion.It’s complicated!(Folic acid is a vitamin of interest to senior citizens.

very decent formulation

There seems to be a lot of questions regarding the recent label change for Solgar metafolin 800mcg. Rest assured, it is still the same product. I still take it for my MTHFR mutations. What has changed is the FDA requirements for how a company can report the amount (or %daily value ) on supplements. Here is what I've found:Recently the FDA changed its labeling requirements. This means they want everyone on the same scale regardless of the source of the folate/folic acid.The daily value is changing from 400 mcg folates to 400 mcg DFE (Dietary Folate Equivalents). What this means is that depending onthe source of folates or folic acid, the claimed % Daily Value may change. For naturally occurring folates,the conversion is 1:1, so there is no change to the % Daily Value (think of broccoli). However, for synthetic (man made) folic acid, the mcgfolic acid is divided by 0.6 to calculate mcg DFE, which means that the same amount of folic acid will havean increase of about 67% in its Daily Value. For example, previously 100 mcg folic acid = 25% Daily Value,now 100 mcg folic acid equals 167 mcg DFE, which is 42% Daily Value.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Anyway, using the above blurb, dividing 800mcg/0.6=1333mcg DFE. If you look at the new label you will find it correctly labeled 1333 mcg DFE with metafolin 800mcg beneath it in parenthesis.The amount of metafolin remains the same but the labeling changed thanks to the FDA.Hope this helps!
