Hello high dose methylfolate users! I have a proposition for those interested.
A few members and I have purchased methylcobalamin powder from China to do with as we pleased and it was a successful endeavor. We exchanged contact information, payments were sent in, and the product was received and low and behold it turns out it was not methamphetamine it was actually decent quality methylcobalamin in bulk, at a great price.
This lead us to searching for other things that typically are overly expensive in terms of those that need significantly higher dosages of the substance than normal, namely, methylfolate. I myself am using 20mg - 30mg a day and if I could have as much as I ever wanted and cost wasn't an issue I would be absolutely ingesting 45mg. I let my cycle slide during the night and I wake up feeling like crap every day basically for the fact that I just can't afford it. I'd been using Magnafolate-C from Methyl-Life and it just wasn't up to par for me and another member (for unexplainable reasons, it is nearly identical to Metafolin in theory). It was a good source though of high dose folate. We have resolved to go back to popping 20-30 Metafolin tabs a day.
After this mecbl adventure though we decided to search Alibaba for methylfolate and it turns out that they sell it. I contacted the vendor and they gave me the following information:
L-5- methyltetrahydrofolic acid calcium
1. Price: USD229 / 30 g
Shipping fee: USD26
SUM: USD255 for 30 g, including DHL shipping to USA door to door .
2. Delivery: within 2~3 days after receipt of payment
3. Payment method:T/T (T/T fee:USD9) ,BitCoin , WU , Moneygram , Coinstar , secure payment orders (secure fee:USD13 )
4. Shipping methods: DHL, TNT, EMS, AIR POST
5. Validity of price: 2 months
I then inquired if it was in fact the pure isomer product such as those sold as Metafolin / Deplin or if it was racemic (which would require a double dose) and he has told me that it is in fact the pure isomer form. This is exciting news.
Let me break down the price for you:
EDIT -
I messed up the days for 45 mg. The months are correct.
Right now if I wanted 30 mg / day of PipingRock Metafolin @ $11.99 for 120 tabs (120 mg) I'd be paying $89.93 / month. I would save $82.28 / month (91% less cost) IF this was an equivalent product. If I had to guess I'd say I'd require more for the same effect but with this price... so what? Maybe I'll save only $75 instead. Darn.
So the pricing is obviously unbelievable but how would this compare to Metafolin, chemically? Let's look at the different methylfolate types:
The vendor claims that this is L-MTHF, calcium salt based, pure isomer. Theoretically it should be identical. There are vendors on there actually claiming to be selling actual Deplin itself but their minimum purchase amounts were huge.
I was not able to determine if this was a cyrstalline salt (Metafolin / Magnafolate-C) or amorphous salt (Extrafolate). Amorphous salts degrade faster and over 12 months can degrade by as much as 16%+ as opposed to 1-2% as a crystalline salt. Again at this price, I don't really care. The certificate of analysis will tell the manufacture date.
This inherently carries risk as this vendors product hasn't been tested and it is a different one than from where we received the methylcobalamin but
@Greyone, an additional member, and I are willing to give this a shot but we'd like to split the cost / risk a bit more.
I would like to get as serious as I can about the healing process and I don't enjoy the fact that I'm unable to keep my methylation cycle going fully and at all times to promote this. I'm going to do what it takes and it looks like this might be a win win. The bigger the split the less risk for all. Once we do 1 run we'll know for sure if it's good and can then purchase more if need be for a longer supply.
If interested send me a message and we can discuss details of how we did payment / shipping etc.
Thanks!
