My folic acid level was 46 year old. After diagnosed with low folic acid level I started supplementing 5 mg folate everyday for last 36 days. Today when I got tested it has come down and become 35. What can be the problem why my folate levels are not rinsing. I was diagnosed with homocysteine level 16 which has come down to 5 in 36 days.
