They do sell methylated folate, which is the form that's basically easiest for the body to handle. Here's the type I buy.
My RE has only ever said to take a prenatal. I took two Flinstones for a while as recommended by my OB during my ectopic because they were easy on my stomach, but grew to hate the texture. Then I switched to gummies. I liked them, but they had no iron and I often am low there. Tried Rainbow Lites but they gave me godawful burps and a foul taste in my mouth forever. Now I'm on Target brand (up and up) prenatals and they're a little larger than I prefer but easy to swallow with no adverse effects. Also one a day.
I will say I preferred my prescription ones to anything otc but it'd be too much of a pain to get and keep a script for them.
I also take extra folic acid because my RE said it couldn't hurt when I asked. This at the recommendation of someone around here or tfab or something. I only take one a day and only when I'm cycling. Can't be bothered to take extra pills when my only hope is a FSB.
Really?! I picked up some Methyl Folate on Amazon for like $6? Did I get the wrong kind?
Jarrow and Doctors Best both have it for around $7 for 90 pills on amazon

The folate will pollute my body?
Or do you take the supplement in the picture and then take the L-Methylfolate supplement? This is the one I got from Jarrow Formulas https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Methyl-Supports-Cardiovascular/dp/B007LEO3OW?th=1
I was so miserable that I tried the supplements before I got the genetic testing. My reaction to it (very positive) gave me the kick in the butt to do the genetic testing, which confirmed my suspicions. Start ridiculously low with both of these. I started by writing down all my current symptoms and then taking them while chatting with a friend. They can watch how you react. Everyone reacts differently to these. Some people (like me) crave them and have a wonderful time, others have headaches and don't tolerate them very well. Please be very careful when you start. If you have negative reactions you can take VERY SMALL doses of niacin every ten minutes as Dr. Lynch suggests. Good luck!
I'm not trying to get your hopes up here, this is just what worked for me.
Here's what I use:
