Folic Acid (Douglas Labs) Each bottle, 90 tablets. Each tablet, 400 mcg of folic acid.
You may be getting enough in your multivitamin, however a tablet a day may provide extra protection. If not taking a multi, take one every day with meals. This nutrient is a coenzyme responsible for the conversion of the sulfur amino acid methionine (which studies show may be 25% deficient in PWHIV) into another critical sulfur amino acid cysteine (50% deficient in PWHIV). Cysteine is the major ingredient in making glutathione (see Glutathione description in the Amino Acids section).
Do not exceed 1,200 mcg per day average (there are multiple B-vitamins, including folic acid in both the B-complex and multi-vitamin so check these before taking extra). Folic acid is very non-toxic; just be sure you are taking enough vitamin B12 along with it.
Other ingredients include cellulose and vegetable stearate.
Contains no yeast, wheat gluten, soy protein, milk/dairy, corn, sodium, sugar, starch, artificial coloring, preservatives or flavoring.
