Superior Source Methyl Folate 1,000 mcg, 60 Sublingual Tablets

I hate taking pills, but my body doesn't absorb folic acid well, so I need to supplement daily with methyl folate. I was using a liquid supplement, but it was out of stock for a while so I had to find something else. These tiny dissolvable tablets ended up being the perfect alternative. They are a 1/4in in diameter and 1/8inch tall, so very very small. They dissolve very quickly and the taste is fine - nothing excessively wonderful but definitely on the good side of acceptable. They are sweetened with stevia and each tablet provides 1,668 mcg of folate (as L-methyltetrahydrofolate). I take them with a glass of water each morning before I have my coffee, and they seem to be working great. I plan on continuing to use them even now that the liquid is back in stock.

This may be premature but I’m an optimistic person. I’m also very sensitive to supplements. I have -/+ mthfr and +/+ MTRR and mtr and COMT. I tried a methylation cream which had the same form of folic acid with folinic acid and other b vitamins and vitamin d...within a week I was feeling completely exhausted, foggy minded, aggressive, irritable, disconnected. Long story short I was able to narrow it down to the form of folic acid. I thought my iron was off but checked this and it’s normal with hemoglobin and hematocrit too. My body apparently does well with this form of folic acid. The other forms (6s), folinic acid, folic acid has the negative effects I described above. Today is day one of taking this. Again cautiously optimistic. I was hesitant to start high but I’ve been taking 500mcg of the same folate that came with my iron supplement and did well with that...so I started with 500mcg and well got greedy and upped to 2000mcg in small doses within a few hours. I’m feeling more energetic (not like strenuous activity level) cognitively clear, and able to do household chores without bending over to rest or catch my breath. I will continue taking this, splitting the doses through the day and aiming for 2000mcg daily for 1 month to see how I do. As long as I don’t relapse to my previous state I’m happy to spend this $ vs $55 for a cream that only makes me feel worse. Oh and the taste isn’t bad...I mean if it gives me my health back I’ll settle for any taste.

This is the one that works ! Folic acid is not ideal but methyl folate form actually is absorbed by our bodies. Superior Source is awesome and the sublingual form od many nutrients necessary for reaching optimum health goals without any unwanted side effects.

Great product!

Excellent product!

If you need methyl folate, I highly recommend this product. The cost is reasonable, not a lot of filler ingredients, and it skips the process of going through the gut, where it is harder to absorb, especially if you have absorption issues. absorbs in the blood vessels under the tung.

This was prescribed by my Dr. for sleep issues, and it turns out it also helps with getting rid of "urgency to pee." Dr. didn't suggest the sublingual, but I knew I needed it due to the fact that digestion issues block this and other B vitamins. So if you have digestion issues (especially ulcer) or are older, absorption requires either a sublingual or a shot. This product should be taken with B12 (sublingual if needed) for best results (so says my Dr who showed me a chart about Folate and B12 working together). Oh, and I read that if you have a deficiency, it takes 4 months to fully restore it in the system. The one problem is then finding out how often to take this and B12, because I learned the hard way years ago that it is NOT true that one cannot overdose on B12 & Folate. In fact, all the same symptoms return if you take it for too long . And that is what happened to me. After a year of taking it,, when the symptoms returned, I stopped it and the next day all the symptoms left again. So far no doctors (nor online searching) has been able to answer that question of how much to take after 4 months. Perhaps after 4 months taking the RDA levels will sustain it.

I saw a few reviews saying how horrible the taste was. I tried one under my tongue and thought, "They're crazy, this is delicious!" It was sweet, but not too sweet and tasted like cherries and vanilla. Then I moved my tongue and all of a sudden it was SUPER BITTER. Blech! I could not reach for the water fast enough. So now, I just take them with water, and it's fine. They go right down and do not swirl around the back of my throat the way some small pills tend to do. The best thing is, I felt pretty good after taking them! I've taken all of the B's, especially B12, but I ignored Folate until now -- I figured I got enough in my diet. I'm glad I did a "what the heck" buy. I've been taking them for two weeks, I think, and have really noticed a very NON general malaise feeling. I've got a few things wrong with me, and feel sick alot, so if you are well, you might not notice, but I have to tell you, they definitely do something. Oh, and someone complained that they looked weird. That's because this brand does not use all those fillers that other vitamins do. That's why I like them.
