Ron, thanks for your explanation of that. I wanted to find out if I took the Metafolin at 800 mcg it would be the same substance as Deplin (which it is) but not the same dosage. 7.5 mg of Deplin seems like alot of Methylfolate considering the OTC Metafolin dosage is 800 mcg.
I wonder how they came up with putting that much in Deplin, is 7.5 mg necessary or would 800 mcg be enough to help with depression. Did any of the literature address that specifically?
I asked the endocrinologist, who I saw this week, about taking Deplin as a folic acid replacement and he said the best test to verify any deficiency is a Homocysteine level. If it is elevated it would be from a folate deficiency. We shall see, SG
