I know my brain is DEAD at the moment but I have been really trying to find a multi vitamin without folic acid. Does anyone know where I can find it online? Also, what brand of L-theanine do you use as?
And where do you get your ECGT? Thanks in advance.

I shop online at PureFormulas, VitaCost, and I-herbs. Pureformulas has free shipping on all orders if you only need a couple items

Thanks, ticketbite66. I shop those sites, too. I am trying to find a multi-vitamin with no folic acid with I have the mthfr genes. Driving me crazy.

Summer have you looked at pure encapsulations Nutrient 950? There are a few different options. Standard, w/o iron, w/o copper and iron, and with vit K. It looks to be ok to me. Note the dosage is 3 twice a day so the 180 count bottle is a months worth.

For a multivitamin without folic acid, I use Thorne Basic Nutrients V. I usually get it from Amazon.

Nosila, I did find that and thank you very much.

Interesting. Can you explain why folic acid is not good for someone with the MTHFR gene? Should it be avoided altogether or would it just be useless if taken? Thanks very much.

My *very* basic understanding is that with the MTHFR gene mutations, our bodies have trouble making enough of the enzyme that processes folic acid, which is a synthetic version of folate, into methylfolate, which is the version our bodies use. So we should avoid the synthetic folic acid and focus on eating foods rich in folate and supplement with methylfolate if necessary.
