Folic Acid, Methyfolate, Is There An Alternative?

[Melba]

After having read not so good things about folic acid I decided to try methyfolate MTHF 541 mcg but am having a strange reaction to it. I open the capsule and take maybe a third of it, the reaction I get is hard to describe ,I immediately feel like it goes straight to my head ,not light headed but more heavy like.
That feeling goes away within half hour or so and I don't know if it's doing me any good.

Is there an alternative between the folic acid and methyfolate I could try?

Folinic acid is usually the other choice if methylfolate is giving you problems.

I don't like methylfolate too much, I can't really give a good reason why. I take it rarely or in fractions of a tablet. But if you possibly have the MTHFR snp then it's supposed to be safer than folic acid, a fact I bet you are aware of.
