Hi Ron,I understand that MegaFolinic (folinic acid)is not the same as L-methylfolate but according to the blurb on it at iHerb.com, it converts more easily to L-methylfolate than regular folic acid:
"Folinic acid does not require the enzymatic conversion that folic acid does so there is enhanced effectiveness for many people. Research suggests that folinic acid is more bioavailable than folic acid because it is more rapidly converted into L-methylfolate, the form of folate in circulation that can cross the blood-brain barrier.*"http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=7735
So I was wondering if it might still work as well, or nearly as well, as L-methylfolate. Probably not but maybe it's worth a try?C40
