I’ve used probiotics for many years and this seems to work well. However...I was very disappointed to find that it includes folic acid! I have the MTHFR gene mutation and, since approximately 25% of the population is considered “seriously” affected by this gene mutation, I’m always surprised and dismayed when I find that a company hasn’t used a methylated version. In my opinion, seeing folic acid in place of methylated folate in a supplement is an indication of corners that have been cut at the expense of 50-25% of the people taking it (folic acid being the synthetic and cheaper version of folate). Folic acid is damaging for those of us with this mutation. When 50% of the population is at least “mildly” affected by MTHFR gene mutations, how can a company that claims such high standards justify using it?
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
