    MTHFS defect (folinic acid intolerance) - request for genetic data

    suggestions for what folinic acid for shmt

    Hi All, I'm ready to address SHMT after addressing CBS and I'm confused about what folinic acid to use. Dr Amy recommends 5 formyl thf and actifolate specifically but actifolate has 5 formyl thf and 5 metra hydrofolate (I think I read something about a reformulation in another post). I'm...
