> > Saw pdoc today and low and behold she gave me a sample pill of her latest addition another vitamin prescription pill called Animi-3. Contains Folic Acid,B-6, B12,Omega 3,DHA, EPA, Phytosterols. Does this mean prescription vitamins or supplements are the new in thing? Anyone heard of it? Phillipa

> Folic acid converts to folate..b6 and b12 help folic acid convert to folate.deplin is already folate so it's better. dha and epa you can get from fish oil..so nothing new here....Take deplin and fish oil and you have a better combo.
>Better as far as folate is concerned, but not the other B-vitamins. Especially B6 is important, as it's a cofactor in the synthesis of all the monoamine neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin, etc.).
As to phytosterols, I only know they may be useful for cholesterol reduction.
