Is this the same as methyltetrahydrofolate

Theres a lot of incorrect information about strength. One of these tablets = 1000 mcg1000 mcg = 1 mg1 deplin = 15 mgThus 1 deplin = 15 of these tablets.

Not exactly! It is the same medicine BUT there is a big difference. Deplin is 15 mg and this product is 1000 mcg. It takes 15 of this product to equal one Deplin 15 mg. Check with your doctor before you think this is what you need. My doctor says I must take Deplin 15mg and it is very very expensive. If you don't need that much, you need to ask your doc if THIS product with Life Extension is OK. Be sure to remind him of the differences I just outlined.

Well both are known as Levomefolic acid so I would think so. If your problem is your bodies ability to break down folic acid then this is the correct thing to take. I had that issue for pregnancy and it worked great, just like the expensive pharmacy stuff. I am not a doctor though and will not say 100% for sure but I would think it is the same thing!

Previous poster (Susan Crofoot Davis) is mistaken. Deplin IS 15 mg and this is 1000 mcg... It takes 1.5 of these to equal Deplin, NOT 15.

YES. And the most thorough answer to your question is in the link below. If you need higher doses, methylpro.com sells a quality product with no yucky additives (unlike Deplin) at an affordable price (also unlike Deplin). Thorne, Jigsaw, and Seeking Health also make quality products. http://mthfr.net/l-methylfolate-methylfolate-5-mthf/2012/04/05/

There is only one chemical difference between the two. Cyanobalamin is the one used most. Methylcobalamin is becoming more popular. Hoping Alive will switch. The reason Companies use cyanobalamin is it is cheaper and is believed not to have side effects

methylcobalamin is the only ingredient. methy B-12 is the coenzyme form of B-12. it rids the body of the toxin homocysteine.

It is the same ingredient. I see no difference and it is much less expensive.

Not sure, I think they're the same; but this is an exceptional product. It's worth every penny. I have gotten so many compliments on how clear my skin looks. Good luck on your choice! :^]

This product does not contain folic acid. It has L-methylfolate, or methylfolate. Methylfolate is the active form for the body, and is not contraindicated in people with MTHFR gene mutations. This does not contain folic acid.

Technically it is the same. However, this is more concentrated. I bought them on the advice of my doctor who wanted me on a high salt diet. Hope that helps.

The way this supplement works is simply to boost the immune system. I don't see how that could affect MTHFR but you might want to talk to your health care provider about it.

No the same. You can also reference the website vetriscience.com the distributor of this product.

B-12 and B06 and folate - that is what the label says. I don't know much past that, but I would suggest that you go to Megafood's website to see the details. I love this B-12, btw.

Methylfolate is what you need in addition to Methyl B-12 if it's for intensive therapy such as MTHFR, dementia, alzheimers or autism.

You will get just that. Excellent product in itself but "forte" is different. The formula has less D, Calcium and phosphorus and more MCHS. You can read the difference on metagenics website. My physician wanted me on the higher MCHC. I am 62 years old. Might make the difference.

This contains Folate 1000 mcg 250 % as (6S)-5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid, glucosamine Salt] other ingredients: micrcrystalline celluose, vegetable cellulose (capsule), silica, vegtable stearate. This is was I take to replace the RX Deplin fyi works great!

Yes, indeed. This is Dr. Ben Lynch's vitamin formulation, and he's aware of the mthfr/gluten connection.

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.
