If someone takes 1/4 of the country life tablet they're only getting 50 mcg of folic acid. I doubt this amount of folic acid is going to cause problems for the vast majority of people here.
This really depends on the individual. For me, folic acid hasn't sufficiently blocked methylfolate, but I realize certain people here do need to avoid folic acid. However, how many people here besides Fredd have actually tested this for themselves?Quoting from http://www.forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/l-methylfolate-dosage.17910/
"
Also, what percentage of folic acid is converted to l-methylfolate?
I understand that it differs from person to person,but just a rough estimate will be enough.
It's not a percentage, it's an amount with biological limits. Consider the transformation only somewhere between 0 and 800mcg daily get converted to methylfoalte. However, 800mcg of folic acid can BLOCK 8000mcg of methylfolate "
