What form does the folate take in these patches? Is it L-methylfolate?

None of the research indicated what form of folic acid was evident. I suggest you contact the mfg'r: info@HealthyHabitsWeb.com. I only know that I have tried all forms; oral supplement and under the tongue lozenges and this form gave me the best results without side effects (such as upset stomach). Good luck

On the front of the bottle it says 'formulated with Methylcobalamin' ... Hope that helps you.

no if you're looking for a real good quality Iron supplement that does contain Folic Acid B12 in addition to Iron I would recommend this one Zahlers Iron Complex, Complete Blood Building Iron Supplement with Ferrochel, Easy on the Stomach Iron Pills with Vitamin C, Optimal Absorption, #1 Top Quality All Natural Iron Vitamin, Kosher Certified, 100 Capsules this is a top notch supplement that has really helped me with my Iron levels. I definitely recommend you look into it.

One thing to watch for--does a product have something you can't have? I was going to switch to another product, but it has folic acid and cyanocobalamin in it. I can't have those forms, so thank heavens I didn't go full bore on Ultima or one of the others containing these versions of B vitamins.

I started with one a day, worked up to two after 2 weeks. I found I had ackes and stiffness in my joints and am back to 1 a day. I feel better. Go to www.mthfr.net and read all you need to know about this folate. It tells you how, why and when to use. I also use Methylcobalamin (B-12)

I asked the same question when I started these. It is food based folate rather than folic acid which is an additive. I believe it says spinach, broccoli, etc. check out the pure synergy website for more of the veggies that are in it!

Folic Acid is a different supplement. This doesn't have any folic acid in it. If you want folic acid you need to purchase it separately, pretty inexpensive and easy to get at any pharmacy.

The bottle mentions "folic acid". It does not state what type of folic acid.

Yes, it contains folate (100 mcg as calcium folinate and pantothenic acid as calcium pantothenate

No, It contains only folate as L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate. Tetra hydro folate is what the body turns regular folate (pteroyl-L-glutamate, according to Wikipedia) into. Some people, myself included, lack the ability to metabolize regular folate, hence the need for, as it were, a pre-metabolized form. I am glad Thorne Research's 5MTHF does not confuse the issue by adding any other B vitamin.

There is nothing on the packaging that states there's latex but it also doesn't state latex free. It states ...medical grade hypoallergenic adhesive. There is a toll free number you can call to ask that question 800-604-6766. I will say that these patches work wonderfully. I'm really low in Vitamin B, I feel so much better now that I'm using the patches. My friend tried another brand, it was a little cheaper, but they did nothing for me. My daughter and I started with half a patch, mainly cuz I didn't know what to expect, and it was fine. After a month I went full patch and I couldn't sleep for 24 hours! Went back to half a patch after that. Also if I put the patch on later late in the day I'm awake well after midnite. Don't know if anyone else has experienced that. Call the 800 number tho and if there's no latex give this a try....I love the patch!!

Folate from Folic Acid and Quatrofolic (6S)-5-methyl-tetrahydofolic acid glucosamine salt 400mcg. as per label. Contact the company at WWW.Jarrow.com for detailed advice. Always best to get it in writing from the company.

Hi, Yes, the Vitamin Code B-12 does have methylcobalamin in it. Thank you :-)

When a label says the name of the nutrient such as folic acid from xyz----- Xyz is the source of the nutrient name. So in this case the source is the one YOU want to be taking. Which is 5-MTHF. 5-MTHF is abrevieation for 5-methyltetrahydrofolate. As for Quatrefolic® that is a brand. In February 2008, Gnosis patented the new generation of folate derivative, brand named Quatrefolic®,You can google what is the difference between folic acid and folate or folic acid and 5-MTHF to get deeper understanding, more than I can post here.
