Folic acid vs folate: dietitian explains

[@tyli1989]

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and I've just been taking a regular prenatal with folic acid... Now I'm worried. I'm switching to a better prenatal, but I know there are a lot of structures formed already in the baby

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Don't stress! A prenatal with folic acid is a great place to start :)

[@jacquelinemartinez5510]

My vitamins only have 600 of folate not folic acid. Should I get separate folic acid vitamins? Thank you!

[@erinmawhirter5938]

Please don't switch to poison when you are giving something good already.

Can you please explain about the neural tube defects. Iniencephaly and cystic hygroma

[@NourishwithMelanie]

Hi Vinmeen! Cystic hygromas are cysts ( fluid filled sacs) that can appear on a baby's neck or neck either in the womb or after birth. Some babies that develop cystic hygromas may have chromosome abnormalities. Iniencephaly is the failure or improper closing of the neural tube which is the structure that forms the brain and spinal cord. I hope that helps!

[@garynasta1]

Why would you push synthetic folic acid on pregnant women???

[@commanderdolph4042]

clean it, chop it up smaller and juice a beetroot. saves you eating the 7 objects of food she has listed.

Any suggestions for supplements contain 5MTHF please. Thank you so much 💓

[@commanderdolph4042]

i would highly recommend buying a juicer, as you will be able to use celery, beetroot, apples, cucumbers, to retrieve a huge amount of nutrients and minerals that God has intended for you to consume and strengthen your soul. love to you my friend.
