I'm getting tempted to refine the SMP to avoid all folic acid. Taking just 2 of the yasko multis gives such a low amount of the basics. I can tolerate 6 but if I spread them out across the day as I want to, I can't avoid taking folic acid (in the multi) at a similar time to the folinic and methylmate b. If they compete for absorption as I understand this seems undesirable. Then there's the whole glutathione and precursors avoidance issue - I have no idea if this is a problem for me but id rather not take the chance to be honest.
So getting rid of the folic would involve buying a load of separate supplements and it's a bit bewildering. I can't even find a b vit complex at iherb without folic acid. Then there's all the minerals!! Aargh!!
Could anyone who has gone this route please share their supps (especially brands) and dosages. If available at iherb even better. Even with customs charges at uk their prices are much better than uk.
Another positive as I see it from going this route is that I can increase individual supps on a trial basis and see what my body needs.
As an aside, can I ask rich if the amino acid plasma result recommendations for supps -I have seen a sample report which shows recommendations for amounts of lots of shops - are reliable?
