BioCare Nutrisorb Methylfolate | High Potency Liquid Folate | Immunity, Energy, Methylation & Pregnancy Support - 15ml

Great always have the liquid seems to absorb better

The short version: I had a folate level of 13.7 nmol/L then after 3 months of supplementing with this, alongside other supplements and a healthy diet, I had increased to 45.4 nmol/L (normal range 8.83-60.8 nmol/L).Detailed version: I recently discovered (via a 23andme test) that I have a genetic mutation called ++ MTHFR C677T. Sounds pretty badass, but in reality it just means I lack the MTHFR enzyme which is needed to convert to folic acid (Vitamin B9) to make it usable in my body. This can result in greatly reduced energy, amongst many other potential symptoms.I was suffering with extreme exhaustion and nothing seemed to be helping (resting, eating well etc.)I now take a daily multivitamin containing 200mg folate. Other supplements I currently take (not all directly related to MTHFR) include Betteryou B12, magnesium glycinate, Betteryou Vitamin D, Swanson Vitamin E tocotrienols, Source Naturals Optizinc & Solgar's Rhodiola complex.This dropper is ideal to top up my folate dose since it's conveniently distributed drop by drop (100mcg per drop) that I can easily take 200mcg extra to meet my 400mcg daily requirement. I choose to have 1 drop under my tongue in the morning and again early afternoon.Taking this natural form of folate has helped me to slowly increase my energy.If I need to increase or decrease the dose it's much easier to do with this product rather than messing around with my multivitamin.You can put it into liquid and drink it but it doesn't taste strong so is easier just to pop under your tongue.If you use this you don't automatically need all the supplements I take but be aware it's important to take Vitamin B12 alongside folate because they work synergistically, so if you supplement with this folate only you could cause a B12 deficiency. You may need to choose a high quality B complex to maintain an overall balance of the B vitamins.

High bioavailabilty. Would buy again

I took this because a nutritionist suggested it. I guess it did what it was supposed to.

I use these when having b12 injections to keep levels of folate balanced

I caveat this by saying of course it might be due to me. However, been taking this almost daily for nearly four months and my folate levels are nearly exactly same, just has them tested again. I also found the tiny bottle annoying as it ran out so quickly! So disappointed.

A nutritionist recommended this brand and it has been effective.

Impossible to get the right dosage with the dodgy dropper
