    supplemental 5-MTHF versus egg yolks

    Hi,last year I experimented with different organic eggs. The feeling induced by the differents eggs was slightly different. Yes eggs doesn't have the same effect than methylfolate alone. But eggs have a nearest effect(but not the same) of methylfolate,retinol,lecithin iodine, together. I could...

    Complete remission of symptoms when I have hay fever - anyone else had this?

    I was waiting to try the bob's red mill potato starch before posting on that thread.Sadly the product was out of stock,but today i come from seeing it is on stock again,yay. I will be able to confirm if it was really the RS in bananas that was causing problems. Butter definitely changed things...

    B-12 - The Hidden Story

    You could try to personalize the doses following the "what my body needs he will receive with complacency" When I think I could be in hypokaelemia,to know immediately if I really need it, I put some potassium gluconate or citrate ON THE TONGUE,after I can take a little amount of water and...

    Folinic Acid problems and more

    You don't tolerate folinic acid,but what about methylfolate? As I don't have access to all these tests,I let melt some folinic acid or methylfolate ON THE TONGUE,not under. BOTH HAVE SIMILAR EFFECT ON ME,at least in little amounts (200µg) .Don't know with bigger amounts and in the long run.As I...

    Paradoxical Folate Deficiency/Insufficiency and Edema

    I don't use folate as a sublingual,under the tongue(different feeling) BUT ON THE TONGUE. My D was extremely low at first too,but the 50,000 iu of D that you take is really a lot.Do you take it once a week? At the present I reach high vitamin d levels(lab results) with just 7500iu once a week...

    Has vitamin K-2 (mk-4 or mk7) helped you ?

    I had some problems taking little doses of mk-4 (100µg/day).Eyes problems,heart problems,bone and joint pains. I could improve these taking mainly calcium and methylfolate sometimes retinol.That makes me think it is a problem of taking mk-4 without cofactors. If you eat eggs you will have mk-4...

    Folates from vegetables

    I have no serious problem with folic or folinic acid but green veggies are not good for me in the present. Food is a powerful thing because full of powerful substances. We can't reduce all the interactions between food ingested and our physical shape, or more precisily in this case between...

    Folates from vegetables

    It matters to let know people consuming some vegetables,that they are ingesting methylfolate almost everyday.So not something we should be afraid to try(methylfolate).But something that should be added to the equation,cause ingested even whitout supplementation. Also as methylfolate is present...

    Folates from vegetables

    In fact the purpose was to show that methylfolate is a main folate vitamer in vegetables.Vegetables are not all folinic acid,or a sort of less oxidized folic acid,as I read over and over on the forum. And so we can stop theorizing from a misconception,and producing wrong assumptions,that make...

    Why methylation isn't working for me?

    Also I have taken 60mg zinc today and it's increasing the mobility and the awareness of my arms hands and fingers. Usually the zinc become "harmful" 3-4 days after discontinuing calcium,when there is no more tension,and losse of mobility caused by the calcium.. For the moment it remains helpful.
