Actually, the poster is advising taking folinic acid, not folic acid.
Folinic acid is a perfectly good substitute for methylfolate, but there is usually no reason to take both.
What you're already taking looks fine, except for the large doses of copper and zinc. There's no reason to take such large doses of copper. Since you're taking magnesium, you might want to consider taking calcium as well. The body needs a stable ratio of calcium-to-magnesium for nerves to function properly. For me, I need 2.5 times as much calcium as magnesium in order to avoid symptoms of calcium deficiency.
Hope this helps.
Thank you! I've heard that most people have excess of calcium thus don't need supplementing with it, is that true? Does calcium blood test show actual calcium, is the test useful? My calcium was 9.3 ( normal range is 8.7 - 10.2)
I take 800mg (400 x 2) of magnesium Citrate per day and 2Meq (1Meq x 2) of Potassium Citrate. How much calcium, if your opinion, do I need?
I'm actually having diarrhea for the past 3 weeks, not sure why. Can this be from lack of calcium?
I'm taking zinc because I have slightly increased pyrroles, and my doctor said he doesn't mind me taking my zinc with copper in it. It's 30mg zing plus 2mg copper in one capsule, so he told me to up the dose to 2 capsules after my first pyrrole test. Do you think I don't need copper at all?
