Methotrexate is a folate antagonist that is approved for use in certain forms of cancer and collagen vascular diseases.
And because it's an antimetabolite that inhibits protein synthesis AND is metabolized by the liver, hepatic toxicity (elevated liver enzymes) is a well recognized side effect.
And while a reduction in serum folate is common in those prescribed Methotrexate, I'm unaware of evidence supporting folate as an oral AAS "hepatic protector".
Bottom line there are no validated oral AAS "hepatic protectors".

While they aren't quite identical, both folate and folic acid have benefits when it comes to liver health andlowering ALT. A 2011 short-term, randomized controlled trial found that taking 0.8 milligrams of folic acid a day was helpful for lowering serum ALT levelswhen combined with medication.Nov 27, 2018

Stephen daniels published a study on july 2007 on it. Look it up cant link it its copy right protected
Hey I guess anyone can pick apart any study. I am not saying I am rite just sharing maybe some potential good info. Take it with a grain of salt but taking folic acid wont hurt you so why not use it. There are some obvious benefits.
