Over the Counter Help for Anxiety and Depression

     Ok, So If you are interested in finding over the counter help for Anxiety and Depression then here is something that may be of interest.  I was talking with a friend of mine that happens to be an M.D. he is really into taking natural supplements to support wellness.  He told me about an over the counter nutrient called L-Folate.  L-Folate is an easier to assimilate form of folic acid.

      According to what I was told as well as my research Some of us have a condition where our bodies don't produce or assimilate Folic Acid in adequate amounts.  This can have all kinds of negative effects contributing to problems like Alzheimer's, Depression, Anxiety, Diebetes and a whole lot more potential problems.  Here is a link to an interesting article regarding L Folate and Senior Citizens, http://mailman2.u.washington.edu/pipermail/phnutr-l/2007-February/018254.html   
 

     when you buy it in the store or amazon you want to look for " 5-MTHF" (that is the good stuff that your body absorbs the best)  The kind I bought was 1 mg. and there where 60 capsules in the Bottle, It cost me 16.70 at my local pharmacy.  which I am going to take 1 to 3 times per day.  

      
     If you are suffering from depression you can always ask your Dr to test your blood to make sure you have adequate Folic Acid.  I also read that it is important to have enough Vitamin B 12 with your Folic Acid.  So I jumped on my Bicycle and road down to the only Pharmacy in town that carries the 5-MTHF and bought some.  I also bought some vitamin B-12.  

     It would have been cheaper to have ordered it from Amazon but I needed the Bike Ride and didn't feel like waiting.

     I would highly recommend consulting with your M.D. before Trying this or any other Supplement. Thx B
