I take folic acid to stop hot flushes due to menopause . Reduced them tremendously and returned with vengeance when I stopped taking them. I take 1 300mlg per day

Comment:
I started taking folic acid 3 times a day, because of a heart detect I was born with. I had surgery as a small child to correct the defect. Two years ago my heart enzymes went up really high, because I have lupus. My doctor suggested I take folic acid to protect my heart from the lupus. Within a month my heart enzymes returned to normal and have not been high since.

Using 15 mg. of 5-MTHF from Extrafolate-S. Only been using it for about two 1/2 weeks. DNA tests showed I was low in producing folate. I can't tell any difference so far. It is supposed to support my psychiatric medications.

I initially started taking it with iron and vitamin B complex to help my complete blood count. What I do not like is how I need to take one tablet with food. I wish I could take it without. My blood has never been healthier though, and I always had anemia. Plus it really speeds up your metabolism and I seemed to have lost fat but muscle stayed. More energy, overall feeling better. Highly recommend
