Frequently asked questions
-
Yes — this is an important safety consideration. High intakes of folic acid can correct the anaemia associated with B12 deficiency while leaving the neurological damage unaddressed. This means a B12 deficiency may go undetected. If you have been diagnosed with, are being investigated for, or may be at risk of B12 deficiency, seek professional advice before using this product.
-
This product uses folic acid, the synthetic form of folate that requires MTHFR enzyme conversion to become active. People with certain MTHFR gene variants have reduced ability to make this conversion efficiently. If you have been identified as having an MTHFR polymorphism, our Folate 500mcg & B12 product uses L-Methylfolate (5-MTHF), the active form that bypasses MTHFR conversion entirely, and may be more suitable.
-
Folate is important during early pregnancy for normal neural tube development. However, the standard pregnancy recommendation is 400mcg per day. At 1000mcg, this product exceeds that guidance. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, consult your midwife or doctor before taking this product to confirm the dose is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
