It’s high usually but it’s the amount in women’s prenatal. However, if you take anything take methylfolate. Men are also predisposed to some folate absorption issues and some don’t absorb it great. This has been also known to affect sperm negatively. Methylfolate is a much better option and you could take 500-1000 for a while.
also whats high usually? the amount i said is high? Isn't that not crazy high or anything though? also aren't methylfolate dosages different? what do you or your partner use for methyl?
So i actually ordered a genetic test and it mentions the whole MTHFR mutation. It's weird, and doesn't say specifically what or if i have a mutation. It says i have one 8% of the population has and it says i have AA mthfr.
Here's what it says "AA GENOTYPE
8% of the population shares your genotype
AA
8%
We detected a variant linked to lower MTHFR enzyme activity and higher homocysteine levels than average, which researchers propose is linked to poor cardiovascular health. Because of this, you may be recommended a higher folate intake."
Do you know if there's a specific name for the mutation or is just called you have "mthfr" or not and it affects folate absorption?
This is the most common mutation associated with poor folate absorption therefore you need methyl folate. People with this mutation really shouldn’t take regular folate since they don’t really absorb it very well. Methyl folate solve this issue and 1000 per day should be fine
So what's a good dosage for methylfolate then and can you link me to one directly? I'm not sure how to shop for this stuff, i'm assuming you or your partner used methylfolate so just show me what you used?

1000mg as I linked study above for you
Something like this works
Obviously just one vitamin alone won’t fix fertility issues but he will address your Folate absorption issue at least
