Re: L Methyl Folate for Depression and Anhedonia

A lot of people have trouble converting B-vitamins, including folic acid, into their active forms. So if you haven't tried the active form, l-methylfolate, you should give it a shot. Solgar brand folate (Metafolin) is an over-the-counter version of it. In addition to l-methylfolate, some other activated B-vitamins worth trying are P5P (B6), methylcobalamin (B12) and benfotiamine (B1). The benfotiamine was way too stimulating for me, but I'm hypersensitive to stimulants. When it comes to dosages, I've found that with many things that have psychoactive properties, it's best to start with a low dose and gradually increase it.
