Hi Dr CMJ,
You say you don't see any circumstance for supplementing with more than 1mg folate per day. However, I saw the below case study where a patient was homozygous for a pathogenic variant in SLC191A, and their issues were improved by supplementing with 10mg/day folic acid despite normal levels of serum folate.

I've seen another case study in infants with SLA19A1 mutations where they supplemented them with 2.5mg/day to improve their health.
I'm heterozygous for rs1555874527 in SLC19A1/COL18A which is deemed pathogenic and rare (freq 0.00001556). I also have borderline high MCV (98.5) which has been increasing and symptoms of anemia and anxiety.
Do you think it would be wise to supplement with folinic acid in the range of 2.4mg/day (0.8mg at each meal)? At least until symptoms have improved, then dial back a bit?
If so, would you advise supplementation of other nutrients to prevent imbalances?
I understand that you support continuing supplements before functional testing, and I do the same with my patients. However, I’m curious about your thoughts on B6 supplementation before testing. Some of my patients are on a methylated multivitamin containing 75 mg of Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate), and their fasting B6 levels often come back significantly elevated—sometimes double the upper limit. This causes concern for them. What are your thoughts on this?
