Thanks for sharing that, Scott. I do wonder how effective it would be in someone who is not deficient or who doesn't have a problem methylating folate and whether it would cause problems in those situations. I would like to try it, but unfortunately, it is not available in Canada. There is another product called Cerefolin NAC that I have been looking into, but again, it doesn't appear to be available in Canada. Oh well. I am sure if it were available, my pdoc would let me try it.I just wanted to say that I am so happy for you and your remission. You have worked so hard to achieve this and perservered through so much. You are truly an inspiration to others on the board. I wish only good things for you and, particularly, continued good mental health.
All the best.
