Re: Thorne Folacal Vs. Metagenics Folapro

[Guest guest]

Sally,

I would use the same amount. You (and your DAN!) can find more details about

Folapro at:

http://www.metagenics.com/wt/page/patient_catalog/215

Our DAN! (Dr. Cave) prefers Actifolate from Metagenics since it

" encourages

methylation pathways at various points of folate metabolism, which may better

support

overall methylation than a single form of folate—especially in those with

genetic variations

in folate metabolism " (see

http://www.metagenics.com/wt/page/practitioner_catalog/

226).
