Yes, and the Metafolin (L-methylfolate) in Deplin can contain up to 17% water, about 8% Calcium, and some other stuff. Have you ever heard the story of the nat and the camel?
I'm surprised that you did not notice the real boo-boo in my post. The IUPAC name is actually (6S)-N-[4-[[(2-amino-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-5-methyl-4-oxo-6-pteridinyl)methyl]amino]benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid, calcium salt.
On another topic, thanks for the heads-up you gave me a while ago regarding the risks associated with the coadministration of phenelzine and phenylethylamine. I spent 12 hours of research on the topic after you drew my attention to the issue. Thanks again for the heads-up.
