Strongly Recommends Methylfolate

The Verdict

3 of 5 experts actively recommend folate supplementation — but context matters enormously. Hyman is the strongest advocate, recommending methylfolate across dozens of videos for brain health, fertility, and depression. Patrick and Attia both supplement with methylfolate specifically to manage homocysteine levels, with Attia including it in his personal stack. Huberman and Johnson mention folate only in passing through guest experts. The key nuance: all experts who discuss it insist on the methylated form (5-MTHF), not synthetic folic acid.
