You can get tested for the enzyme, but it is expensive, so my pdoc often just treats people with Deplin w/o any testing.
He put me on it because I was trying to keep my meds down for pregnancy and folate is important for pregnancy anyway. I have been pleased with it and it gives me peace of mind that I'm getting lots of folate.
The downside is that insurance won't cover it and so it is $40 per month. However, he gets so many samples I haven't had to pay yet in the 5 months I have been taking it.
Best,
EE
