Dietary folate is a complex and variable mixture of folate compounds. Methyl Folate is the most biologically active form and the molecule to which folic acid must be converted in order to be utilized by the body. Enzyme defects, malabsorption syndrome, digestive problems, liver disease and aging may interfere with the body's ability to convert folic acid to its active form.

It is important to take this supplement as directed as there is a potential for large amounts of folate to cause or worsen anemia and cognitive symptoms associated with a vitamin B12 deficiency.

Folate supplements can interact with several medications:

Methotrexate (Rheumatrex®, Trexall®), used to treat cancer and autoimmune diseases.

Antiepileptic medications, such as phenytoin (Dilantin®), carbamazepine (Carbatrol®, Tegretol®, Equetro®, Epitol®), and valproate (Depacon®), are used to treat epilepsy, psychiatric diseases, and other medical conditions.

Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine®) is used primarily to treat ulcerative colitis.

If you take any of these medications, you should speak to your health care provider about appropriate dosage of this supplement.
