Is the Folic Acid Methylated?

Sweet, I answered too fast, sorry. On the back of the label is says there is 1000 of methylcobalmin in it. Methylcobalamin (mecobalamin, MeCbl, or MeB 12) is a cobalamin, a form of vitamin B 12. It differs from cyanocobalamin in that the cyanide is replaced by a methyl group.

Being methylated is better. It can cross the brain barrier and be used by the body better.

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.

Not exactly. It does have A, E, folic acid, etc. but I don't think it has everything a multi has.

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.

Dear Isaac, I'm sorry I couldn't answer earlier. Vitamin B-12 1000 mcg; Vitamin B-6 2 mg; Folic Acid 400 mg; you can also see it on the back of the label by trying to click on the picture of the product. I hope it works. The tablets are pretty sour and a little bit sweet; it is supposed to melt under your tongue.

The following is copied from the Pure Encapsulation web site:"B-Complex Plus is an exceptional combination of B vitamins, including vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, biotin, and folic acid (as MetafolinL-5-MTHF), all of which are provided in their optimal bioavailable and functional forms.*"My interpretation of the above leads me to believe that, yes, this product does contain folic acid.

My concern now too - and Amazon still hasn't fixed the problem. The Pure Encapsulations Folic Acid features a picture of a bottle of Folate, and the B12 Folate has a picture of Folic Acid? How do I know what I'm getting?

Not according to the back of the bottle. It contains Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6, Folate, B12, Biotin, Panthothenic Acid. You can always call them to find out for sure. 1-800-228-1966.

I don't know. More importantly, make sure you take sam-e with folate. I'm using Doctor's Best.

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.

According to the label, there is no folic acid in this product. But there is 400 micrograms of folate in the form of L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF). From my research, this form is the biologically active version of folate. Folic acid is the synthetic version of folate. The human body would have to biochemically convert folic acid to folate to L-5-MTHF before the body could utilize this B vitamin. The website for Pure Encapsulations is pureencapsulations.com.
