Feeling less fatigued

Great form of methylfolate. I like that it comes in 120 count and in tablet form rather than capsule. This product in conjunction with B12 has really helped my chronic fatigue.

Fola Pro works with Effexor

I have been taking Effexor for a number of years and it had started to become less effective for me. I also read about L-5-methyl enhancing SSRIs so gave it a try. I started off with 4 per day but found I couldnt get to sleep at all and backed it off to 1 per day and noticed a positive effect. Im still experimenting with how many of these to take. I recently ran out and figured Id do without but I noticed within 2 days my mental health had deteriorated so they definitely help me.

Metagenics Fola Pro Makes SSRIs Work

I read that folate enhances the effectiveness of SSRIs and because the Zoloft wasnt doing its job to my satisfaction I decided to try folate. Since folate is water soluable an overdose is not a concern to me. I started immediatley on Fola Pro with 6 tabs a day (2 morning noon and night) and within a very short time I noticed a difference. I now wake up with a clear head instead of the disorientation I experienced before and I feel much much better all day long. So I guess the research done is correct. If youre on an SSRI but still feel down I recommend the folate from Metagenics

Folapro Works For Relieving Depression

Folapros main ingredient is L-5-methyl tetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF) and the product contains 800mcg.

There are a number of Medical Food (by prescription only) that contain between 3 and 6.5 mg of L-5-MTHF. One of the medical treatments L-5-MTHF is prescribed for is depression.

For me 5 tablets of Metagenics Folapro (4mg) beneficially affects my mood and energy throughout the day and when I take it my depression lifts.

ABOUT FOLIC ACID

Folic acid is a water-soluble member of the B complex. It is also known as folate and folacin. This vitamin is needed for energy production, cell replication and the formation of red and white blood cells. It plays an important role in the conversion of homocysteine into harmless substances. Homocysteine damages the inner lining of arteries and high levels of homocysteine are correlated to an increased risk of atherosclerosis. Folic acid is especially needed in areas where there is high cell turnover. Therefore it is an essential component of normal fetal development, especially in the first trimester when most of the neural network is laid down.

It is commonly recommended by natural health care practitioners for a variety of different therapeutic applications including: cervical dysplasia, depression, anxiety, anemia and atherosclerosis.

All of the B vitamins work together and are best used by the body in a B complex, which is why many B complex supplements include a small dose of folic acid in them. If additional supplementation of folic acid is needed it should be taken in addition to a good B complex. Most B vitamins are water-soluble and any extra from large doses is flushed out of the body easily, therefore it's best to take lower dosages of the B complex several times a day than one larger dose. Spray or sublingual forms of B vitamins are easily absorbed, as are capsules - if your digestion is healthy, then the tablet form is usually suitable for most people.

Folic acid is depleted by oral contraceptives and many other types of medication. Alcohol blocks the absorption of folic acid. High doses of folic acid can also change the way your body uses certain medications. Check with your health practitioner before taking large doses of folic acid. Cooking or microwaving destroys folic acid. Pregnant women should begin supplementation before they become pregnant because folic acid is most needed during the first six weeks of fetal life. This is often when a woman does not know she is pregnant.
