Does it contain actual folic acid? I can't metabolize this synthetic version of folate.

'key words' = 'from folic acid'! Folic Acid IS NOT 'folate'. Sounds like they messed w/Folic Acid to make it 'more absorbable' like Folate...BUT...that doesn't mean IT IS 'folate'.

It states on the label that Methyl Folate (6S)-5-MTHF, methyltetrahydrofolic acid is a biologically active form of folic acid. I hope this helps.

Folic acid is the synthetic! You don't want to take folic acid, it is a known carcinogen. Do some research on it.Folate is the real thing. This is a good product as far as folate goes.

I honestly don't know, as I used my whole supply, but I do not think I saw these ingredients. Having said that, I believe this vitamin should be taken with a major multivitamin, not by itself. There's not enough in the vitamins (Alive) to sustain you.

B-12 and B06 and folate - that is what the label says. I don't know much past that, but I would suggest that you go to Megafood's website to see the details. I love this B-12, btw.

Folate is naturally occurring in foliage ie. leafy green vegetables and folic acid is the synthetic form of folate that is put into vitamins.

No. The label shows no presence of any Vitamins including A & B (which is folic acid). It does show the presence of iron which occurs naturallly in the grain.

The label says it is Gnosis's Extrafolate-S, which Gnosis's site says is the calcium salt of the acid (same as Metafolin). I'm not finding any sources of MTHF that is not a calcium salt (although it should be just as easy to produce it as the magnesium salt). Why can't you take the calcium salt version of it? It does't contain that much calcium (about 8 mg Ca for every 100 mg HTHF).

On the ingredients list it says "Folate (as folic acid from culture media)" so I would say it contains folate. Sounds like they just put folic acid on the label as well since the terms are often used interchangeably.

It contains trace (very tiny) amounts of phosphorous. I believe it is listed on the label due to nutritional labeling requirements. It is not an ingredient of the product

I just looked at the Women's Daily Alive yesterday at Costco and found it did not have all the ingredients as the Ultra Potency has. I can't remember all the differences, but the percentages were lower and many missing. I take it for the vitamin B's which are way high over the daily recommended %. Someone else listed all the ingredients so I won't list them again.

Im not even sure I only purchased this once, as a supplement. You would have to see if they list the ingredient on the site.

My Naturpathic Physician has me taking 4 capsules daily (but it is the B12 FOLATE...not the B12 Folic)....after she tested my blood for the Mutated DNA gene.....MTHFR.

Not exactly. It does have A, E, folic acid, etc. but I don't think it has everything a multi has.

Nope - I just looked thru ALL the ingredients and nothing like those are in there. Also, even though these are just a little bit more expensive, they are absolutely the Best Vitamins I've ever taken !! And I've been taking them for about 4 years now.

I can't answer this for sure, but I will tell you that I'm currently scanning the reviews/questions about the same issue. I think I'm going to avoid these because it says right on the ingredients "folic acid" instead of folate. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, it's used for fortification. Something smells fishy, think I'm going to avoid it.
