Regarding the B12 and folate. If you have MTHFR genetic mutations, the type of B vitamins you use is important. Do you know what your B12, folate, copper, d, iron and zinc levels were before you started supplementing?

Also, serum B12 is the least effective way to determine a deficiency. MMA and homocysteine would be useful to know.
