I have a folate deficiency due to numerous food allergies. I'm not keen on veggies etc but I do juice them and drink a mix of greens. I use these
... every day. I tried doing without them on different occasions and in two weeks my symptoms come back and i struggle with getting through a day without numerous naps. I have no energy, can't exercise and can't do things with friends on an evening. Without these I can't function properly, I never realised how important these could be, so I am truly grateful for such a great product.

It's shocking that millions of pregnant women are advised to take folic acid, which is synthetic. Research shows it can cause cancer!
The prop
...er, active form is folate (vitamin B9) like this one, the only form that can cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain. Also, many people cannot convert folic acid supplements to folate, so make sure to buy only folate supplements.
As Dr Mark Hyman warns: "Man-made molecules do funny, unpredictable things because they don't work with our normal biochemical pathways. Nature made molecules we have consumed for millennia work with our bodies. Folic acid, the molecule that is used to fortify our food supply, is used in most studies and in most vitamins. It is a man-made, funny looking molecule - a fully oxidized, synthetic chemical compound that seems to cause [more] mischief [than good]. It costs less and is more stable than the nature-made form of this nutrient.
"On the other hand, the nature-made form or forms, called "folates," do not seem to cause problems. This molecule is often found in foliage - dark green leafy vegetables, hence the name folate. This can enter your normal biochemical pathways and gets properly metabolized. The folic acid may not be converted or metabolized by the body, increasing cancer and disease risk. The excess folic acid becomes oxidized and promotes free radical production and genetic instability leading to cancer and other disease.
"The nature-made form of this nutrient - called methyl folate (and there are a few forms of that too) - is what should be in food and vitamin supplements. Many conscientious companies are now using only this form of the nutrient, but it is more expensive. Look at your supplement label: if it says "folic acid" then find another vitamin that has the words "L 5 methyl-tetrahydrofolate" or "5 formyl tetrahydrofolate" on the label."
Note that a genetic mutation called MTHFR gene polymorphism is very common; this prevents the body from being able to use folate/B9 properly. 50% of the population has AT LEAST one gene variant of this type and another 30% has two variants. Unless you specifically ask to be tested for MTHFR, however, your doctor is unlikely to bother checking for this!
Folate is water soluble, like the other B vitamins and vitamin C (water soluble should mean it's more difficult to overdose, since the body excretes excess in the urine. Advanced folate deficiency can cause anemia. Over consumption of folate may mask B12 deficiency. Folate and B12 usually need to be supplemented together as they work closely together. However, if taking either B12 or B9/folate/folic acid causes problems for you, the answer may be in "Nutrient Power" by Dr Walsh, an excellent book on about folate and methylation and how they oppose each other.
If you do have a folate deficiency, 1 mg (1,000 mcg) each day will improve the anemia in about 5 to 7 days but the treatment should continue for about 2 months until the normal levels are reached. After that, most do not need more than 400mcg daily.
