When comparing Seeking Health Folinic Acid vs Methylfolate, the choice comes down to your body’s sensitivity. If you have tried supporting your MTHFR mutation with Methylfolate and felt anxious, irritable, or “wired but tired,” this product was designed for you.
Why Folinic Acid? (The Middle Path)
There are three main types of folate. Choosing the right one is critical for your mental and physical health:
- Folic Acid (Too Slow): Synthetic and hard to process for 40% of the population.
- Methylfolate (Too Fast): The active form. Great for many, but for sensitive individuals, it acts like a car with no brakes, causing “Over-methylation” (panic, racing heart).
- Folinic Acid (Just Right): This is natural, active folate (found in spinach). It enters the cycle easily but allows your cells to control the final conversion. It provides the fuel for DNA repair without the “crash.”
Sublingual Absorption
Dr. Ben Lynch designed these as lozenges for a reason. Swallowing capsules requires a healthy stomach and intestine to absorb the nutrient. By letting this lozenge dissolve, the Folinic Acid enters the mucous membranes directly, ensuring higher bioavailability.
How to Use
Standard Dose: Take 1 lozenge daily with or without food.
For the Extremely Sensitive: The lozenge is scored (has a line). You can easily break it in half to start with a lower dose and slowly ramp up as your body repairs itself.
Folinic Acid (Calcium Folinate) is NOT the same as Folic Acid. Do not confuse them. This is a high-quality, bioavailable form, unlike the cheap synthetic vitamins found in drugstores.
