Vitamin B12/Folate Relationship

[sportsfan8724]

If wanting to take 5000 mcg b12 methyl sublingual daily to raise levels will i deplete folate levels if they are normal? I've heard some doctors say taking b12 alone could cause folate deficiency.

I have no expertise on this subject, but wouldn't a reasonable fix just be to supplement with both if you are concerned?

I supplement with Jarrow B-Right, Methyl Folate and Methyl 12 for all my vitamin B.

Yes, I was going to lower it to 2500 mcg but my lipidologist told my higher levels were safe, so I stayed the course.

I just had my folate and b12 checked.
B12 range 200-1100
Mine 1345
Folate range >4.5
Mine 11.8
I guess I don't need to suppplement any extra b12 after all. I guess folate at 11.8 is ok?? Just says normal range is >4.5 which I am
