I looked up L-methylfolate;
I found about 6 articles on PubMed,
one by a well-recognized researcher,
Dr. Stahl. It seems that its efficacy
as found in clinical trials comparing
schizophrenics, depressives against controls,
is based on the theory that folate acid
may be lower in such. And so, this addition
is an enhancement of an already existing
antidepressant. The vitamin B12 is related.
This sounds like a new direction in psychiatry.
That's all i can say.I hope i got that right.
Interesting variation in countries' origin
of research: Britain, US, and Greece.It is approved by the FDA as a supplement to
enhance ADs.Any feedback, would be appreciated. It sounds
fishy to me.
