I've recently started the simple methylation protocol with good results, even after only a week. I'm still only on crumbs of methylfolate though.
I have multivitamins with folic acid and can't find any with no folic acid... all I can find are ones with higher doses of methylfolate than I can handle right now. Assuming I don't have MTHFR mutations (I should really test at some point), will the folic acid in the multi be detrimental?
Is there some aspect of having a methylation block that means we can't convert folic acid to 5-MTHF, even in spite of having normal MTHFR? With Rich's suggestion of folinic acid, this would have to mean that DHFR is where the problem is, as this is the only step not common to both (I think?).
Has anybody done the SMP with folic on top and had good results? I assume people are having good results from the SMP long-term?
Thanks
