For years I’ve had low hemoglobin that didn’t get better with iron infusions, vitamin b12 injections, prescription synthetic folic acid and lots of red meat and even liver. I also had lots of trouble putting on weight because of low appetite, on top of that insomnia and adhd symptoms.. They even prescribed EPO injections (also knows as doping) to stimulate my body to produce red blood cells. It was either that, or blood transfusions, but my hemoglobin was just a fraction too high for blood transfusion.. But even the EPO injections didn’t quite work, it did do something, but very little, so I quit those too. Then I started taking methylfolate and this for me has been the KEY for succes. Every symptom improves immediately, my mood, sleep, appetite, my hormonal health. My body finally produces red blood cells without any need for EPO injections or iron infusions. I know it’s the folate because when I run out, or simply forget to re order, I get my symptoms back. It makes me feel like a normal human.
Many doctors prescribe folic acid to pregnant women, but to know it's synthetic, and folate is the natural one is definitely an eye open and extremely valuable information provided by Dr. Berg and maybe a life saver.
Problem here: all the supplements on the web that label "Methylfolate" are just "Folate" when you look at the list of ingredients. Where can we buy a supplement that just says "1000 mcg MethylFolate"?
Yeah I was one of those mothers in the 90s he was told to take folic acid when I was pregnant. But then fast forward 25 years later I found out that I am 677MTHFR my body can’t recognize folic acid. Thankfully my daughter was born fine I mean yeah she’s got problems here and there but they’re not devastating. But I’m just wondering could they have been nonexistent if I was taking folate instead there was no Internet early 90s so I didn’t know any better.
Wow, bought myself Folate... Later went to my gyna who prescribed me folic acid. When I asked about Folate, he dismissed it. Thanks so much for Dr Berg

Just recently saw a paper about Brazil deciding to fortify all their grains w/ iron and folic acid and then changing their minds after seeing the disastrous effects. They did it pretty recently so they have better numbers than we do here in the states. Shows the general populations health decline pretty quickly after introducing the fortification. So they are deciding to pull it. Wish they would do that here. Pretty illinformed decision who ever came up with treating the entire population with iron filings and folic acid. Not to mention flouride as well.
@@IMissMrKitty They don't want Americans healthy. I remember I was going to a specialist for my thyroid and all of sudden all these advertisements with Type II Diabetes were going up as well. This was around 2003, and I stated to myself, why all of sudden Type II diabetes is on the rise? HUM!!! Turns out to be, in the 2018 study and folks who drink a lot of regular soda High Fructose Corn Syrup and that now can lead to Type II diabetes, as well as other factors. Other factors are, taking calcium out of the bones and raises triglycerides. Most American's are walking around with non-alcoholic fatty liver. In the movie Super Size Me, we were not only the fattest society, but we were becoming the stupidest society. That's where they found out about the non-alcoholic fatty liver.
D Hoosier I was diagnosed through actual genetic testing that was required because I get blood clots very easily. I do not know the accuracy of the 23/me test.
After I got pregnant, my midwife told me to take folic acid. I told her that I’m taking folate instead, she then got confused for a second, then I said that folic acid is the synthetic manmade version, and folate is the natural one. Midwife then said ‘hmm, I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around.’ 🤦🏻♀️ 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Thank again, Dr. Berg. I loved listening to you. I knew about folic acid, and I do have the mutation gene. I take a lot of the natural version. Didn't know that folic acid itself is synthetic. Can you do a video on Vitamin E as well. Very sad, how the public is so duped and fooled and American's go to the store and they really don't know what they are buying. We don't have real food anymore. The foods today are not digestible and you never feel full. When I was growing up; the foods were so different and even the candy today is horrible.
I agree and I had to start buying Organic or from the farmers market in town and local farms. I now trust where my food comes from and it’s so empowering having that knowledge! I love growing my own veggies too! Can I ask you how you got tested for the Gene? Was it through 23 and me? Thanks a bunch! 😊
After only one day of twice taking l Meth, my RACING thoughts simmered down enough that when I woke in the middle of the night, I actually went back to sleep because my mind didn't start thinking about one thing after another. Normally every night I wake around 4pm and can't sleep because of racing thoughts.
Well it’s about darn time someone started talking about MTHFR gene mutation. Thankfully, there’s methyl folate as folic acid isn’t broken down properly when you have the mutation.
That’s because Google owns RUclips and your search engine. In this case it was used for good. But bad things are coming because of the spying and algorithms and social credit scores like China has. A hammer can be used for great harm, and it can be used for good such as building at home. Since Genesis 1, good versus evil has existed. Come Lord Jesus
I was just prescribed folic acid as we are trying to get pregnant. I didn't say anything to my doctor, but as I've already seen advice against it from Dr Berg, I am not planning to take it. I will go for the natural sources and 5-MHTF supplements.
Dr. Berg, thank you for very informative videos. Only one tiny suggestion - to minimize video inserts (pictures, animations) - they disrupt the flow of information presented on the board.
Good video. I have an issue and my Dr said take more folic and b vitamins. I was taking a b vitamin already! So i thought maybe I'm not absorbing. I researched then bought a more expensive b vitamin that has the methyl ones you discussed. This video was very helpful!
Choose your methylfolate dosage with caution, together with your doctor to prevent over-methylation. Taking too much methylfolate can cause side effects, such as severe anxiety, nausea, insomnia, migraines, irritability, achy joints, headaches, and more.
@@HghuBen Methylfolate supplements prescribed by a Medical Doctor at a dose of 1mg daily is usually sufficient to prevent folic acid deficiency. ⚠Taking too much Methylfolate can cause side effects, such as severe anxiety, nausea, insomnia, migraines, irritability, achy joints, headaches, and more!
Dr. Berg, I forgot I had saved this video weeks ago. I have RA and take methotrexate, 2.5 mg ea week. Recently there was a change in my rheumatologist and he put me on Folic Acid which I was not prescribed by my previous rheumatologist. My hair sheds constantly. I stopped taking the prescribed Folic Acid since I deduced this supplement may be causing my hair to shed like I had a dog in my home. Should I let my body reset before I try the L-Methylfolate. I was not having any issues before and was diagnosed with RA 4 yrs ago. My hair has thinned out considerably. I’m so upset about this. My health is great aside from RA which is totally manageable. I’m very blessed.
I'm MTHFR and have found that a multivitamin with Methylfolate and M-Cobalamin with the addition of Cyanocobalamin before bed really helps with sleep states. Yes I have tried the other forms of B-12 but I suspect that Cyanocobalamin crosses the blood brain barrier better - IDK, just a theory that explains, just hope this bit of info can help you sleep better, it has done wonders for me.
May I ask... why do you take Folic Acid or Folate? I'm new to supplementing with it, my choice. I seem to just here around the net that it's just for women and getting pregnant etc...
I just began on a similar schedule myself. I SUSPECT that I am MTHFR, just from what I have read about it, and what I know about myself. I ordered the test to be sure though.
@@travelmanMN Sorry just read this, Folate or Methylfolate are more natural forms than Folic Acid, The main difference is that Folic Acid is a totally synthetic form. Some have trouble metabolizing Folic Acid. I can tell the difference when I have switched. You need Folate for proper cell metabolic processes.
@@jf8461 I think 2/3 people in the US have MTHFR but it depends on how much it effects your system. I found that increasing Folate in my diet and eliminating anything that contained folic acid and processed foods that are enriched made a big difference when supported by adequate nutrients. I take supplements to be sure.
Worst part about methylfolate is that people and advisers dont know anything about it, they just wrote that mthfr is needed for synthesis of methylfolate and they are teaching everyone that if you have mthfr then you need to suplement this nutrient. I really encourage to look at study that showed that 3mg of riboflavin lowered homocysteine by 40% in people with mthfr and this is really key nutrient for those people not methylfolate. Methlfolate is methylated god knows how many times everyday and dose that you get from suplement will be transformed into thf in like 1-2 hours after taking and then it isnt different than folic acid that is demonized. In the end i want to write that b2 is key nutrient because it speeds up mthfr and if you got polimorfism then your enzyme need more b2 and even more facinating is fact that such low dose as 3mg will be enough. If you dont notice any improvement in blood homocysteine or your mood then mthfr isnt your problem and you need to dig more into your biochemistry.
Okay folks unless I missed something with the video I have an important question... Let's say for the average person, 170-190 lbs What Mcg/or Mg should we take? Because on Amazon the scale is low to High...1000mcg 7.5mg 15mg & so on... What would be the common dosage & I lean towards taking plenty to make sure Im covered.... Answers appreciated Thanks
I take warfarin due to atrial fibrillation. I have a home INR meter calibrated to the accuracy of venipuncture. I target INR, post stroke at 2.5 to 3.0. My recent labs return: Threonine, 31.1 Low Alpha-aminoadipate, 2.6 High Glycine, 213.8 In Range Valine, 335.2 High Methionine, 42.3 High The Methionine is at 9 times higher than what it should be. While I need to get a more accurate testing of homocysteine with an exact value labcorp returned
Unfortunately, Braggs Nutritional Yeast has Folic Acid listed as the next to last ingredient, yet, Folate is listed in the "Nutritional Facts" column near the bottom as 752 mcg DFE as 106% of the daily value % What do you think @Dr Berg?
Yep and Sari Foods has Pantothenic Acid listed, it's synthetic yet they claim it's non-fortified. Bragg's is BAD btw, the entire product is synthetic. And some B vitamins are light sensitive, yet they deliver the product in a clear container, sitting on shelves with bright artificial lighting....yuck.
My mother, 74yrs, was prescribed with folic acid and she started to have delirium for 3 months until i decided to discontinue folic acid and she recovered and now coming across this information i think she was supposed to get natural version methyl folate 😢
So instead of taking a Folic Acid supplement, is it worth just taking the L-Methylfolate even if you don’t have the gene mutation? That is, if the goal is to have the active form; Methylfolate, then why not just supplement with that instead of a Folic Acid supplement?
Thru IVF I found out I have MTHFR gene. I have two variants to the mutation. I do no absorb folate from food period! No matter how much green leafy veggies or liver I eat as my body does not Methylate... Therefore I have to take a methyl form of folate. Prescribed to me by my naturopath as my GP had no idea what the MTHFR gene was and prescribed me folic acid. Thanks to my IVF doctor who has a brain I've been able to restore my body what it was lacking. And boy do I feel good.
@@hallen5875 just google methylated b12. That's if you need it. And Folate not folic acid which is the synthetic form. My products are from metagenics prescribed by a naturopath.
While I agree on its benefits. Life has a balance. It would highly increase the sodium levels in the body. Therefore, high water intake and potassium rich foods are advised to be taken when having liver. Additionally to prevent uric acid Buid up, I have been taking green apples and celery water after having the liver. I had undiagnosed issues with fatique and indigestion for years that I was able to cope with only with having liver, and consumption of black radish, and by balancing each food I take as I mentioned earlier.
As I recall the FDA took Folate off the market in 2018 for consumers, all we're now able to access is Folic Acid. Don't have time to research right now but someone may be able to confirm this.
I watched your videos for many months. After years of fatigue from veganism, i will be going to buy and use methyl folate and vitamin b12 methylcobalamin.
Wanted to add that if you have the MTHFR issue AND slow COMT gene variant you might be better off taking folinic acid instead of methylfolate. It will help you avoid the psychological effects of overmethylation
Make sure not to take too much methyl folate. I went way overboard taking up to 4 mg and then was so restless and couldn't sleep. Luckily it is water soluble and you can take B3 Niacin to counteract teh overmethylation.
i have been diagnosed with folate deficiency because i am on anticonvulsent drugs and the Dr has recommended folic acid tablets 5mg a day for 4 months.
Wow this video came in at the right time as I am doing so much research to find a good prenatal vitamin and I can’t decide because of the folic acid in them. Please Dr. Berg recommend a good prenatal. Which brand did you daughter in law take when she was pregnant? I want the best😀
Great info, although more detail would be useful. For example supplementing with methylfolate is not that simple. Depending on other mutations and digestive health person has it might not work or be even harmful.
I have the MTHFR gene, I have double mutation. Methyl is very bad more me and I can’t detox. It give me increased anxiety and depression and I had a few panic attacks. I take B3 to go into niacin flush. It helps remove the muscle in my body.
Jason Cornett I am suffering from the same situation. I’m so sensitive to any methyl vitamins n my anxiety is through the roof. It’s also incredibly difficult to fall asleep most nights. There is so much info out there, I’m not sure what to do. 😑
I love you Dr. Berg however I respectfully disagree with your recommendation to ever use "23 and me" for anything. Bad news. I encourage you to look into it and it's questionable background.
Dr Berg, what are your thoughts on shilajit? It's a black tar that comes in a tin can and is very mineral rich. It is made of plant matter. I find it very interesting!
He does not say how much you should take nor does he offer a quality source. Considering there are thousands of companies selling pure crap, this falls under the category of nice to know but what do I do with it
What happens to the synthetic folate/folic acid in people with MTHFR mutations? Why does it make us sick? Also- I have these mutations and high homocysteine but do not react well to methyl folate or folinic acid- both make me feel sick, and I am also taking methyl B12. What is the reason for this? Thank you
So glad to get to hear this critical lesson. I'm looking into adding the foods rich in this vitamin into our diet. I'm concerned about hair loss. Does anyone know about making a solution of this vitamin to put directly on the scale? (Lemon juice?!)
I was worried about this, as bread is fortified in the UK, & I no longer eat it. I should be alright with the foods I now eat plenty off, Avocados & whatnot. I take the right B12 too. Thanks for sharing this very important information with us all, & take care off yourself to. 🥑❤🙂🐶

@Maxi Bake Recently learnt about the sublingual B12 - I'm happy it works for you. Always had difficulty swallowing pills and the current B12 I take, scrapes my throat going down.
i'm MTHFR and methylfolate makes me feel very wired like im on amphetamine! I feel great on folic acid I just make sure I only take on 100ug a day through my fortified cereal as I know at this level I wont be going over my body's DHFR capability. As long as riboflavin status is okay folic acid should be okay in low doses.
Wow methylfolate makes me feel bad also. How do you check your riboflavin status? Is your mtfhr rhe homozygous or heterozygous? Thanks for the help in advance
Dr Berg, I have been following your guidance and started OMAD and Ketogenic Diet for few weeks already. Totally happy with my obvious heath change! But I still have one biggest problem in life which I really need your help! I have been consuming 4000mg Vitamin C (500 x 8) per day and B mix (normal portion) daily for 2.5 years, initiated as I have been having serious gum recession and inflammation since end of 2016. All along I’m not sure if it’s helping, but the result is in these 2.5 years the problems still gradually worsening. Lately I have learnt from you that all those synthetic vitamins are badly affecting the body to absorb the good natural form of Vitamins C from lemon/veggies, which made me really wanna stop it. But I’m very insecure with how to start, should I stop whole 4000mg immediately? Or increasingly reduce? Moreover, is there any way to regrow recessed gum? Thank you so much in advance, Dr Berg!
I used folic acid during my 2 pregnancies almost 9 month. Kids are completely healthy but after 2nd child I got migraine. Then I fixed my migraine eating low carb and zero sugar.
Doc, can you please learn about Methotrexate, what it has to does with folate? Should you mega dose folate when on MTX? I don’t know what to dooo. Took my first dose for my RA. Fingers all affected now. A few are triggering, pretty badly. Getting g mouth sores, hair starting to fall out again 😣 it’s hard to know what to do 😔😔😔 thanks so much ❤️

Interestingly enough, I purchased a bottle of Dr. Berg’s Nutritional yeast tablets with “no synthetic vitamins.” The label online states that the vitamins are comprised of pure Folate. Upon receiving the bottle and reading the label, it was brought to my attention that it contains folate as folic acid; precisely what Dr. Berg strongly discourages in this video. I am genuinely curious if this is a manufacturing error or do the vitamins have the synthetic for of folate…
I was going to buy nutritional yeast the other day from our local health food store and noticed it too had “excellent source of folic acid” written on it. But nothing indicating whether it was natural or not.
For years I’ve had low hemoglobin that didn’t get better with iron infusions, vitamin b12 injections, prescription synthetic folic acid and lots of red meat and even liver. I also had lots of trouble putting on weight because of low appetite, on top of that insomnia and adhd symptoms..

This was around 2003, and I stated to myself, why all of sudden Type II diabetes is on the rise? HUM!!! Turns out to be, in the 2018 study and folks who drink a lot of regular soda High Fructose Corn Syrup and that now can lead to Type II diabetes, as well as other factors. Other factors are, taking calcium out of the bones and raises triglycerides. Most American's are walking around with non-alcoholic fatty liver. In the movie Super Size Me, we were not only the fattest society, but we were becoming the stupidest society. That's where they found out about the non-alcoholic fatty liver.

Any idea how much that particular test costs?
@@mddell58 just do an ancestry DNA test and download the raw data and Promethease it.

After I got pregnant, my midwife told me to take folic acid. I told her that I’m taking folate instead, she then got confused for a second, then I said that folic acid is the synthetic manmade version, and folate is the natural one. Midwife then said ‘hmm, I’m pretty sure it’s the other way around.’ 🤦🏻♀️ 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Omg so who is correct and who's incorrect!? Smh
@@dpaper7962 well I’m pretty sure my midwife is wrong... 😄
@@dpaper7962 The midwife is wrong. This video talks about it.
" man made" supplements are all man made. Unless you're getting folate from real food it isn't " natural "
What brand of folate are you taking if you don't mind me asking?
Thank again, Dr. Berg. I loved listening to you. I knew about folic acid, and I do have the mutation gene. I take a lot of the natural version. Didn't know that folic acid itself is synthetic. Can you do a video on Vitamin E as well. Very sad, how the public is so duped and fooled and American's go to the store and they really don't know what they are buying. We don't have real food anymore. The foods today are not digestible and you never feel full. When I was growing up; the foods were so different and even the candy today is horrible.
I agree and I had to start buying Organic or from the farmers market in town and local farms. I now trust where my food comes from and it’s so empowering having that knowledge!
I love growing my own veggies too!
Can I ask you how you got tested for the Gene? Was it through 23 and me?
Thanks a bunch! 😊
After only one day of twice taking l Meth, my RACING thoughts simmered down enough that when I woke in the middle of the night, I actually went back to sleep because my mind didn't start thinking about one thing after another. Normally every night I wake around 4pm and can't sleep because of racing thoughts.
How long did it take before you started feeling better?
Well it’s about darn time someone started talking about MTHFR gene mutation. Thankfully, there’s methyl folate as folic acid isn’t broken down properly when you have the mutation.
Can any disorder have the initials "MTHFR" and not think of Samuel L. Jackson's most commonly used word?
I type in a medical issue and Shazam you always have all the answers.
Many thanks for all your videos ❤️
That’s because Google owns RUclips and your search engine. In this case it was used for good. But bad things are coming because of the spying and algorithms and social credit scores like China has.

God bless you Dr. I'm on a mission to save my son from Autism.
So am I! He has this genetic defect!
Cure autism ??
I was just prescribed folic acid as we are trying to get pregnant. I didn't say anything to my doctor, but as I've already seen advice against it from Dr Berg, I am not planning to take it. I will go for the natural sources and 5-MHTF supplements.
Dr. Berg, thank you for very informative videos. Only one tiny suggestion - to minimize video inserts (pictures, animations) - they disrupt the flow of information presented on the board.
Dr. Berg, your work continues to inspire many! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
EXCELLENT PRESENTATION
Knowledge to assist us in improving our health.
Thank You.
Good video. I have an issue and my Dr said take more folic and b vitamins. I was taking a b vitamin already! So i thought maybe I'm not absorbing. I researched then bought a more expensive b vitamin that has the methyl ones you discussed. This video was very helpful!
Hello, could you please tell me what brand you take?
I have recently done the same. 👍🏼
Thank you for this Dr Berg ❤
I've just been diagnosed with low folate and appreciate your advice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Glad to help!
I wish I could subscribe twice , best channel on RUclips
Choose your methylfolate dosage with caution, together with your doctor to prevent over-methylation. Taking too much methylfolate can cause side effects, such as severe anxiety, nausea, insomnia, migraines, irritability, achy joints, headaches, and more.
How much methyl folate is appropriate?
@@kristins7904 The bottle it comes in has the dose recommendation.
@@KETO_DIET but if you have a deficiency, you're supposed to take 7-15 mg if I'm not wrong?
@@HghuBen Methylfolate supplements prescribed by a Medical Doctor at a dose of 1mg daily is usually sufficient to prevent folic acid deficiency. ⚠Taking too much Methylfolate can cause side effects, such as severe anxiety, nausea, insomnia, migraines, irritability, achy joints, headaches, and more!
Dr. Berg, I forgot I had saved this video weeks ago. I have RA and take methotrexate, 2.5 mg ea week. Recently there was a change in my rheumatologist and he put me on Folic Acid which I was not prescribed by my previous rheumatologist. My hair sheds constantly. I stopped taking the prescribed Folic Acid since I deduced this supplement may be causing my hair to shed like I had a dog in my home. Should I let my body reset before I try the L-Methylfolate. I was not having any issues before and was diagnosed with RA 4 yrs ago. My hair has thinned out considerably. I’m so upset about this. My health is great aside from RA which is totally manageable. I’m very blessed.
I'm MTHFR and have found that a multivitamin with Methylfolate and M-Cobalamin with the addition of Cyanocobalamin before bed really helps with sleep states. Yes I have tried the other forms of B-12 but I suspect that Cyanocobalamin crosses the blood brain barrier better - IDK, just a theory that explains, just hope this bit of info can help you sleep better, it has done wonders for me.
May I ask... why do you take Folic Acid or Folate? I'm new to supplementing with it, my choice. I seem to just here around the net that it's just for women and getting pregnant etc...
I just began on a similar schedule myself. I SUSPECT that I am MTHFR, just from what I have read about it, and what I know about myself. I ordered the test to be sure though.
@@travelmanMN Sorry just read this, Folate or Methylfolate are more natural forms than Folic Acid, The main difference is that Folic Acid is a totally synthetic form. Some have trouble metabolizing Folic Acid. I can tell the difference when I have switched. You need Folate for proper cell metabolic processes.
@@jf8461 I think 2/3 people in the US have MTHFR but it depends on how much it effects your system. I found that increasing Folate in my diet and eliminating anything that contained folic acid and processed foods that are enriched made a big difference when supported by adequate nutrients. I take supplements to be sure.
@@joenabbi1214 Thanks for the info! I just submitted my test yesterday to find out.
Unbelievable!!! Nobody talks about this?? And this is something that is recommended for every pregnant woman forexample...
Worst part about methylfolate is that people and advisers dont know anything about it, they just wrote that mthfr is needed for synthesis of methylfolate and they are teaching everyone that if you have mthfr then you need to suplement this nutrient. I really encourage to look at study that showed that 3mg of riboflavin lowered homocysteine by 40% in people with mthfr and this is really key nutrient for those people not methylfolate. Methlfolate is methylated god knows how many times everyday and dose that you get from suplement will be transformed into thf in like 1-2 hours after taking and then it isnt different than folic acid that is demonized. In the end i want to write that b2 is key nutrient because it speeds up mthfr and if you got polimorfism then your enzyme need more b2 and even more facinating is fact that such low dose as 3mg will be enough. If you dont notice any improvement in blood homocysteine or your mood then mthfr isnt your problem and you need to dig more into your biochemistry.
Ohhh...that's why vitamin B2 is great for Migration people...and rising Homocysteine level is responsible for Migration...it's all Biochemistry
Okay folks unless I missed something with the video I have an important question... Let's say for the average person, 170-190 lbs What Mcg/or Mg should we take? Because on Amazon the scale is low to High...1000mcg 7.5mg 15mg & so on... What would be the common dosage & I lean towards taking plenty to make sure Im covered.... Answers appreciated Thanks
I was concerned about the dosages too!
Sir Plss tell us which foods are good source of methyl folate. For vegetarians
I take warfarin due to atrial fibrillation. I have a home INR meter calibrated to the accuracy of venipuncture. I target INR, post stroke at 2.5 to 3.0.
My recent labs return:
Threonine, 31.1 Low
Alpha-aminoadipate, 2.6 High
Glycine, 213.8 In Range
Valine, 335.2 High
Methionine, 42.3 High
The Methionine is at 9 times higher than what it should be. While I need to get a more accurate testing of homocysteine with an exact value labcorp returned
Unfortunately, Braggs Nutritional Yeast has Folic Acid listed as the next to last ingredient, yet, Folate is listed in the "Nutritional Facts" column near the bottom as 752 mcg DFE as 106% of the daily value % What do you think @Dr Berg?
Yep and Sari Foods has Pantothenic Acid listed, it's synthetic yet they claim it's non-fortified. Bragg's is BAD btw, the entire product is synthetic. And some B vitamins are light sensitive, yet they deliver the product in a clear container, sitting on shelves with bright artificial lighting....yuck.
@@lillypod1337 very interesting tip.
Couldn’t stop staring at the MTHFR gene. Love your work!
What do you mean staring at it?
What's the safe dose of folate we should be taking?
My mother, 74yrs, was prescribed with folic acid and she started to have delirium for 3 months until i decided to discontinue folic acid and she recovered and now coming across this information i think she was supposed to get natural version methyl folate 😢
So instead of taking a Folic Acid supplement, is it worth just taking the L-Methylfolate even if you don’t have the gene mutation? That is, if the goal is to have the active form; Methylfolate, then why not just supplement with that instead of a Folic Acid supplement?
Thru IVF I found out I have MTHFR gene. I have two variants to the mutation. I do no absorb folate from food period! No matter how much green leafy veggies or liver I eat as my body does not Methylate...
Therefore I have to take a methyl form of folate. Prescribed to me by my naturopath as my GP had no idea what the MTHFR gene was and prescribed me folic acid. Thanks to my IVF doctor who has a brain I've been able to restore my body what it was lacking. And boy do I feel good.
Can you please tell me the name of the supplement prescribed for you. Thanks
@@hallen5875 just google methylated b12.
That's if you need it. And Folate not folic acid which is the synthetic form. My products are from metagenics prescribed by a naturopath.
My sister's and I are MTHFRs😆 they have had hearing aids since age 50.
Dr.Lynch says that better you take both as you may be in a situation when you need folic acid too
What’s the best dark leafy green we should eat?
I recommend 100g of fried or steamed (grassfed) beef liver every day. Covers so many vitamins and minerals, it's just a true super food.
While I agree on its benefits. Life has a balance. It would highly increase the sodium levels in the body. Therefore, high water intake and potassium rich foods are advised to be taken when having liver. Additionally to prevent uric acid Buid up, I have been taking green apples and celery water after having the liver.
I had undiagnosed issues with fatique and indigestion for years that I was able to cope with only with having liver, and consumption of black radish, and by balancing each food I take as I mentioned earlier.
That’s way too much liver for 99% of the population. That will be vitamin A and iron/copper overload
As I recall the FDA took Folate off the market in 2018 for consumers, all we're now able to access is Folic Acid. Don't have time to research right now but someone may be able to confirm this.
Thank you your videos are very pleasant and easy to understand🙏🏽
so why are all the major health institutions as well as 23andMe saying the research does not support MTHFR variant hypothesis?
How do you determine if a brand of vitamins is natural or synthetic?
I watched your videos for many months. After years of fatigue from veganism, i will be going to buy and use methyl folate and vitamin b12 methylcobalamin.
Wanted to add that if you have the MTHFR issue AND slow COMT gene variant you might be better off taking folinic acid instead of methylfolate. It will help you avoid the psychological effects of overmethylation
What are those psychological effects?
What is COMT?
My B-12 is high, can I take just the Methylfolate alone ?
Make sure not to take too much methyl folate. I went way overboard taking up to 4 mg and then was so restless and couldn't sleep. Luckily it is water soluble and you can take B3 Niacin to counteract teh overmethylation.
How long did it take you to flush out the extra folate. I think I may have overdone it as well.
Thank you so much Dr berg for this teaching; please any recommendations for prenatal vitamins please? Thank you❤️
I have MTHFR and I take Deplin. Thank you for explaining.
i have been diagnosed with folate deficiency because i am on anticonvulsent drugs and the Dr has recommended folic acid tablets 5mg a day for 4 months.
Thank you Dr Berg I really needed to hear this! Your such an inspiration to us All! Much Love ❤️
Thank you, Dr Berg. You are my docter, THE BEST!
If we are to avoid folic acid then why do you put folic acid in Dr Bergs nutritional yeast supplement
James Brown unanswered questions, huh? 🤔
It’s not fortified!! Any folate is naturally occurring in this product
Wow this video came in at the right time as I am doing so much research to find a good prenatal vitamin and I can’t decide because of the folic acid in them. Please Dr. Berg recommend a good prenatal. Which brand did you daughter in law take when she was pregnant? I want the best😀
Hi Ive just found out I'm pregnant and also doing this research, what did you decide to take?
Any food based prenatal in the healthy food store. Check that it has methylfolate not folic acid in it. Congrats on your pregnancy.
@@dolidolo4221 thank you
Hello I am pregnant too i skip folic acid is it okay??
No it is not ok. Make sure your prenatal has methylfolate in it. It is very important ingredient especially in the first trimester.
Thanks for the Chemistry lessons!
I got confused after watching this video. Can you explain in more details what is the safer option of folic acid for pregnancy?
Folate L-Methylfolate (B9)
Great info, although more detail would be useful. For example supplementing with methylfolate is not that simple. Depending on other mutations and digestive health person has it might not work or be even harmful.
Agreed, when I took methylfolate it made me spiral. I had intense anxiety and panic that I had never experienced before.
I have the MTHFR gene, I have double mutation. Methyl is very bad more me and I can’t detox. It give me increased anxiety and depression and I had a few panic attacks. I take B3 to go into niacin flush. It helps remove the muscle in my body.
Jason Cornett I am suffering from the same situation. I’m so sensitive to any methyl vitamins n my anxiety is through the roof. It’s also incredibly difficult to fall asleep most nights. There is so much info out there, I’m not sure what to do. 😑
What u mean methyl is bad?i take methylation b12 and i feel bad
I love you Dr. Berg however I respectfully disagree with your recommendation to ever use "23 and me" for anything. Bad news. I encourage you to look into it and it's questionable background.
Wow reading my son's med report and significantly reduced folic acid. Of course I'll get the correct stuff now tks to Dr. Berg
Dr Berg, what are your thoughts on shilajit? It's a black tar that comes in a tin can and is very mineral rich. It is made of plant matter. I find it very interesting!
Excellent advice and information ☝🏻
He does not say how much you should take nor does he offer a quality source. Considering there are thousands of companies selling pure crap, this falls under the category of nice to know but what do I do with it
For a pregnant woman, which is better? Folic acid or folate? I'm confused now watching this video, i have been taking folic acid
folate
How sad, I just came home with folic acid. So I have a 70% chance of being ok with it?
What happens to the synthetic folate/folic acid in people with MTHFR mutations? Why does it make us sick? Also- I have these mutations and high homocysteine but do not react well to methyl folate or folinic acid- both make me feel sick, and I am also taking methyl B12. What is the reason for this? Thank you
So glad to get to hear this critical lesson. I'm looking into adding the foods rich in this vitamin into our diet. I'm concerned about hair loss. Does anyone know about making a solution of this vitamin to put directly on the scale? (Lemon juice?!)
Thank you and I learned something today. Thanks, Dr. Berg, and I tell people about your website.
I was worried about this, as bread is fortified in the UK, & I no longer eat it. I should be alright with the foods I now eat plenty off, Avocados & whatnot. I take the right B12 too. Thanks for sharing this very important information with us all, & take care off yourself to. 🥑❤🙂🐶

@@leni1624 Jarrows Methylcobalamin B-12, 1000mcg, they're Lemon flavour sublingual Lozenges, they come in 100 count from Amazon.

@Maxi Bake Recently learnt about the sublingual B12 - I'm happy it works for you. Always had difficulty swallowing pills and the current B12 I take, scrapes my throat going down.
Do you take methylfolate throughout the day or just once?
Thanks for keeping us updated 👍🏼, have a great day Dr Berg ❤️💕
✌🏼😎👍🏼
i'm MTHFR and methylfolate makes me feel very wired like im on amphetamine! I feel great on folic acid I just make sure I only take on 100ug a day through my fortified cereal as I know at this level I wont be going over my body's DHFR capability. As long as riboflavin status is okay folic acid should be okay in low doses.
Wow methylfolate makes me feel bad also. How do you check your riboflavin status? Is your mtfhr rhe homozygous or heterozygous? Thanks for the help in advance
Dr.Berg, So the 6S-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate it's correct form, right?
Folic acid (Fol-ICK acid, like “icky”)
Folate (Fol-ATE, good, from food you eat)
VB yes! :-)
😀
Thank you!
Dr Berg, I have been following your guidance and started OMAD and Ketogenic Diet for few weeks already. Totally happy with my obvious heath change! But I still have one biggest problem in life which I really need your help!
I have been consuming 4000mg Vitamin C (500 x 8) per day and B mix (normal portion) daily for 2.5 years, initiated as I have been having serious gum recession and inflammation since end of 2016. All along I’m not sure if it’s helping, but the result is in these 2.5 years the problems still gradually worsening.
Lately I have learnt from you that all those synthetic vitamins are badly affecting the body to absorb the good natural form of Vitamins C from lemon/veggies, which made me really wanna stop it. But I’m very insecure with how to start, should I stop whole 4000mg immediately? Or increasingly reduce?
Moreover, is there any way to regrow recessed gum?
Thank you so much in advance, Dr Berg!
Hi! How are your gums now?
Yes, have you figured this out
@@mikimiki6202 sorry for recommending that stuff before. It might not be good and it's difficult to check. Best to stay clear of it!
I wonder, since I am pregnant, if my taking a beef liver supplement if that is sufficient for my daily needed dose.

I used folic acid during my 2 pregnancies almost 9 month. Kids are completely healthy but after 2nd child I got migraine. Then I fixed my migraine eating low carb and zero sugar.
Doc, can you please learn about Methotrexate, what it has to does with folate? Should you mega dose folate when on MTX? I don’t know what to dooo. Took my first dose for my RA.

Dr. Berg, I suffer from that gene mutation that you spoke of, I have a question regarding homocysteine condition that was mentioned, will taking this medication in L-methyl form, reduce my elevated homocysteine levels and prevent blood clots? What other advantages does this medication give me?
Hey Did your levels lowered? I need urgent help. I am from India too.
Super important information. Thank you!!!
Interestingly enough, I purchased a bottle of Dr. Berg’s Nutritional yeast tablets with “no synthetic vitamins.” The label online states that the vitamins are comprised of pure Folate. Upon receiving the bottle and reading the label, it was brought to my attention that it contains folate as folic acid; precisely what Dr. Berg strongly discourages in this video. I am genuinely curious if this is a manufacturing error or do the vitamins have the synthetic for of folate…
Wow
I was going to buy nutritional yeast the other day from our local health food store and noticed it too had “excellent source of folic acid” written on it. But nothing indicating whether it was natural or not.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge
Doctor's say take folic acid another one says don't take it you doctors need to get your stuff together and that's putting it nicely
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I AM PREGNANT AND MY DOC HAS NO IDEA. THX 🙏
Thats so typical. All these system-aligned folks are soooooo BLOODY ignorant . . .
What about pregnant women who are prescribed folic acid
take the methyl version instead - same thing just easier to absorb and less side effects.
Just eat avocados , broccoli and spinach everyday.
Also if you don't have the gene mutation you can still use folic acid.
@Eternal Cycles, or beef liver which is the food with the highest content of folic acid!
Spina Bifida and cleft palate are a folate deficiency in Mom.
I have MTHFR confirmed ,,,Ive noticed your nutritional yeast contains (folic acid) should I avoid this product?
Thanks so much .
