why is metafolin better than folic acid

Not an expert, but Metafolin is the naturally occurring form of Vitamin B9 (aka folate) used by the body. Folic acid is a synthetically produced form of B9 and is converted to folate in the liver. For some people, such as myself, the body cannot convert folic acid into folate. This is the reason I take Metafolin.

What are the size of the tablets and are they hard to swallow?

Thank you for your interest in Solgar products! The Folate 1000mcg (AS METAFOLIN) is a standard 3/8" round tablet.

No iron - only folate, the natural form of vitamin B9 in food (while folic acid is a synthetic form of B9). You need B9 to enhance the absorption of vitamin B12.
