> I've read here that to equal 7.5mg of Deplin. A great number of supplemental pills would be needed. Hugh was it you that responded well to Deplin? Did you go to Deplin site? I think the facts on there? I did try Deplin and went off as I'd read that if don't have the missing gene is it that not needed. Phillipa
I responded to l-methylfolate, but I don't know if I would call it "well." It caused decreased libido, which most antidepressants have done to me as well, so I knew that the l-methylfolate was doing something. Regular folic acid never did this to me. The Deplin website claims that up to 70% of people who suffer from depression are unable to adequately convert dietary folate into its activated form, l-methylfolate.
