Hello, I've been took folate for almost a month, and I found this product contain 90pills per bottle but the suggestion said took only a month before conception. What make me a bit confused is do I have to finish one bottle or just I took it 30days only?

Dear Blackmores - like 30% of people I cannot absorb folic due to MTHFR SNPs genetic issues. Neither can my 2 kids. As a Blackmores' shareholder I am pretty disappointed that I need to order folinic and methylfolate from overseas suppliers. Is Blackmores working on this issue? It is a big issue as shown in scientific literature and clinical studies...

Do you have methylfolate or folinic acid? 1 out of 3 people are estimated to have genetic SNPs that prevent them from absorbing folic acid...the MTHFR mutation. I currently have to buy folinic and methylfolate from overseas. As a Blackmores shareholder and mother of 2 children also with this mutation I would really like to know when Blackmores will look into supplying this more bio-available form. Please?
